This morning’s walk through the garden gave me a couple handfuls of produce. It’s always awkward when there is just one okra pod to pick. Seriously, what do I do with one pod? The okra have been slow getting starting, but a time will come soon where I have a nice pile to chop, batter and freeze for frying later. I am still eating down last years harvest!
The potato plants were all yellowed and the new leaves were yellowing right away, so I went ahead and pulled them out. This last batch had slightly larger potatoes than the last. I haven’t checked to see if the sweet potatoes in the front yard are doing anything, but the neighborhood deer laid into them pretty heavily so I’m giving them time to recover.

| Delicious carrots! I don’t even peel them before I eat them. |

The potatoes look beautiful. I picked "the one" okra pod yesterday. I put it in a little freezer bag and into the freezer, to be joined by the other onlies and duos until a decent amount can be picked at one time.

AWESOME harvest! I do the same thing with lone okras – freeze them in a bag where I can easily add more of the singletons until I have enough. That, or I've been known to throw a single sliced raw okra into a salad with other things…but that doesn't always get rave reviews from my audience:)

I've never tried raw okra.. I think I'd probably object to it in my salad too.
