Summer Garden - 2011 - Bergundy Okra

Some pictures of the first few okra blooms and resultant fruit of the season.These pictures were taken during the month of May. You'll see a lot of ants which I will discuss in further detail in another post. The ants haven't done much, if any, damage to the okra.

First okra fruit of the season and another bud soon to bloom.

And the ants are clearly evident. But the flower is so beautiful.

The first okra of the season. It was good. When cooked the bergundy okra are green and look and taste jsut like regular okra.

The flowers are so pretty. It really gives a whole new appreciation to mother nature when you see how beautiful the food you eat is when its still alive and growing.
