You’re going to have lots of ripe tomatoes soon. <br />The herb garden is beautiful - everything has really taken off. <br />Okra loves hot weather, so that’s probably the reason for their faster growth now. When it starts to produce, it will need to be picked at least every two days, preferably every day - maybe 2nd Family can do some picking for you during the week. <br />Great results for being a weekend gardener! <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-18322205873905687542016-07-05T17:39:06.113-05:002016-07-05T17:39:06.113-05:00Looks like the eating will be so fresh in a few we...Looks like the eating will be so fresh in a few weeks. You do know that tomatoes need picking every day, sometimes twice a day. I would have planted more in each box. Sometimes, if you plant several varieties they will germinate each other and you will not get true plant. I am not sure which plants do this, however.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-19074498898229855112016-07-05T15:40:13.216-05:002016-07-05T15:40:13.216-05:00Looking good.

Your herb bed looks gorgeous too - mine is a veritable jungle at the moment and could use a bit of a tidy up. <br /><br />When it comes to growing more than one plant, I would go a step further and say it's always good to plant more than one variety as some varieties are more tolerant to certain conditions (i.e. hot, cold, wet, dry, etc). Also it's not unusual to get a bad lot of seeds so it's wise to hedge your bets.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-4613468959274874642016-07-05T11:26:21.167-05:002016-07-05T11:26:21.167-05:00OK, I have to ask, in this heat, if you aren’t the...OK, I have to ask, in this heat, if you aren’t there daily how are you getting such great results?
