August 26, 2022 - Louisiana Okra

 Tiptoeing doesn't work anymore. Step on something to reach and harvest the okra, or get a step-ladder instead.

These are our Louisiana Okra plants. I am not sure how tall they are now, but this plant can grow as tall as 8 feet.

The purest white of all of the bitter melon variety is found off the coast of Okinawa, Japan.

This is called the "Jyunpaku" Pure White Bitter Melon.

No wonder the seeds were mahal when Jay bought them for me last year. It was a dollar per seed, plus it was so hard to get hold of this. It's always sold out.

This is my first time growing them, and I am planning to grow more next year.

 Wolverine! 

Freshly harvested okra supposedly for our ginisang monggo today, but I didn't have enough mung beans. 

So, we will have sinigang instead. 

By the way, the longest one I harvested was the 10", the one in the middle.
