    Okra above all else makes you feel like a good gardener, it's so productive and hardy. Great vegetable to grow if you're needing to feed a lot of people. Love that bush variety! I'm trying a pink Japanese variety this year for my 5 year old niece.

      Yes, I now have 2 plants since we cut the top from the bottom. The top started roots in water and the bottom now I am considering cutting as she is getting 4 feet again. For awhile stopped producing okra pods but still flowering those beautiful flowers, now producing both. Change cycles of life I guess, but tomorrow I will have 3 okra pods to eat. My beloved Plant Babies along with my strawberries, artichoke and tomato babies. Love them all.
