we are getting about this many every 3-4 days. All the cherry tomato plants are still blooming and have multiple clumps. The slicers seem to be slowing a bit finally.

Those slicers look like mini-pumpkins!

Okra is coming on nice now - about a pound every couple days: Most is going into freezer now - 1# baggies; but I do foresee pickled okra in my future! I like'em raw too!

Those slicers look like mini-pumpkins! I call them cat faced. Fine eating.

I'll take a look, we put the little plastic labels next to the plant so we know what they are ... stay tuned (I think we have 3 different varieties on the slicers). I recall one being Celebrity (cause my wife always remembers that one)

I recall one being Celebrity (cause my wife always remembers that one) I finally remembered to look while out at the garden. One plant is Celebrity, one is Genuwine Beefsteak (the one that looks like miniature pumpkin) and the third I have no idea (grandkids or dog stole the little plastic stake with type on it).

Oldoak packed a pint of pickled okra! say that 10x fast! (actually a half/pint):) I helped out mom for years, but this is my first time canning anything, solo. Figured I'd try one tiny jar first, before I create a bunker of inedible stuff. Gonna try to make some zesty 'refrigerator pickles' next ala Oxner style...

What variety? Looks like you waited until full slip to pick them. I'll bet they are sweet. The ones you get in the store have usually been picked too early and don't have a very high sugar content.

Wife bought seeds this year - HeirLoom - 'Hale's Best Jumbo' - every seed came up & thrived! With working from home/Covid, it's easy for me to check couple times a day - 100 steps away from keyboard/screen, so yes, we maximized time on the vine - they are amazingly sweet and flavorful, just like fresh ripe peaches straight from the tree (which I didn't get any of this year due to late frost ) I'm saving a bunch of the seeds from the big ones - gotta have a half-pound of dried seed by now!

One of the folks mentioned and quoted in the article is a good friend of mine. They used to grow a lot of melons.

My okra is only waist high, but have already put about 10lbs into freezer sliced, and finally some pints of Pickled Okra for storage shelf!
