Nobody cut the okra while I was away. Too bad, because these overgrown pods will probably be the last we see this year. The plants are still blooming, but past experience tells me that maturation of pods will slow considerably in early / mid October. Why? Because cool weather is okra's number one enemy.
Okra plants like it when nights are in the 60s and days are 85 degrees or warmer. Our nights are dipping down into the lower 40's this week, with daytime temps in the 70's. Very pleasant autumn weather, indeed, but surely the end of okra season.
