On Friday I pulled up the okra "forest". The plants had gotten so tall I couldn't get to the tops at all. I was away the first week of October for a dulcimer workshop in Sandbridge, VA. While I was gone, nobody picked the okra. Left to grow, the pods became gigantic, causing the plants to become top-heavy. Several were bent over. A few were broken. I decided I was tired of okra. I also pulled up the shriveled up pole beans and cut down their string support.
The big trees are down and limbed. Yesterday, the crew had a bobcat out here, loading the trunks onto trucks in preparation to haul them to the saw mill where they'll be cut into boards. When they were finished, it started raining. Perfect timing.
I think my garden is growing better already!
