Mine are still OK, they are in the flooded greenhouse but we had lifted them up onto a bench so they were saved, they have gone on strike again though,in fact the second lot have caught them up.
At one point I thought they were going to be the only thing that survived the flood.
Oh this is so funny.
Rosie, you just stop teasing us and show us your SPANISH GROWN okra.

Add one more to the list of Okra growers ! :D
Two plants of two varieties still surviving up here in Leeds - "Pure Luck" and "Burgundy Red" sown in March.
The Red ones are doing best - despite suffering an aphid attack despite being kept on a closed windowsill ???
Now they're in a crate full of compost in the "green tent" slowly getting hidden by cucumber plants.
One more set of fingers crossed for us all though :-X

I`m a sporting Gent and my word is my bond-a decent crop and my wok and my limited culinary skills are yours.
But if anyone who just might live outside the UK had a good crop and sponsored a taste trial I`m sure we could bend the rules just once?

Cleo I think if the winner comes from out of the UK, all competitors should be able to visit and see for themselves. So Biscombe, WHEN would you like us all as you look a likely candidate!!!

I never said my challenge was easy ;D Joking aside it`s something to try if one has the space but quite honestly I can think of more rewarding plants to grow unless one has acres of glass house space.

my two plants keeled over... I hadn't noticed, bit too busy being 9 months pregnant at the moment - can barely get though the greenhouse door! BUT... they have actually started shooting again from below the point they keeled over (if that makes any sense) so may not be out of the game yet... totally anyway!
