harvested ocra here at home

Hi!!!! I love okras! I want to plant vegetables in our backyard, too but I guess I'm just too lazy to do it. I have okra seeds before which were given to me by my friend but I forgot all about it until I finally remembered it but the seeds were all expired. I was so disappointed with the waste. I could have planted a lot with it. I love okras especially steamed. I can imagine your garden. It's probably really inspiring to see the vegetables growing nicely. It would be fun to harvest them when the time comes.

I remember the first okra I ever planted was when I was in grade 4 and it did bear fruit after sometime and I know how happy your wife must have felt. Since then, I got interested in planting and have planted tomatoes at home, which also grew and bore fruits. It's a good thing for your son to be interested in. It can become a good hobby for him and from there he learns to appreciate life and nature. I hope you could encourage him more on this. Keep it up!

I understand how you feel especially your wife, seeing her own fruit of labor is a emotional uplift experience. i am sure she is happy to see her plants grow and bear fruit as expected, at least her effort pay off well at the end, you get to eat some of the fruit of her labor too, the sense of achievment is quite real in her case seeing all these orca fruit ending up on the dinner table for the family to enjoy.

Hi 7th! I love planting! This year, i started with Kangkong seeds and they all sprouted in 3 days! When they got too big in their nursery pad, i had them transplanted in our little farm in Lipa! After kangkong, i started planting radishes but they all wilted in the storm that we had weeks ago. I didnt let frustration get a hold of me. After the radished, i planted eggplant and sunflowers. They did grow in my nursery pad but when i transferred them to our plant box in our house, they all wilted. Awwwwwwwwww. I dont give up easily, hence, i planted melons and broccoli! They are up in a week. I intend to have them transplanted in Lipa as the kangkong was a success story. I hope i can really breed broccoli, anyway, the next months will be colder, i hope it would survive in Lipa. Well... going back to kangkong, i cant wait to eat them for sinigang! hahaah!

Hi se7enthbird Wow and very nice size Okra indeed! I know this feeling as several years ago I too use to plant veggies. It was always a thrill to see them grow day by day. This is a really big size one, for which I hope you all get to enjoy many of them.

I envy your wife....I really love to eat okra and I wish I can plant them too. It's very healthy for you too eat something that you just planted,you can be sure that it has no preservatives and chemicals in it.

Congratulations to your wife and it really looks big and since it's organic then it's healthier. I'm not a fan of okra though and i don't actually eat it! I'm glad that finally your wife was able to have wonderful produce!

I also started planting my own veggies this year. Aside from being able to save, I also am sure that there is no chemicals used for the veggies. I think it helps a lot financially and for health reasons to keep our small veggie garden at home.

wow,the real happiness is in the normal life .Thank you for sharing the happiness of your family.I think recieving the fruit by ourself is really hard to come by.
