We've got sprouts...
Okra sprouts to be exact. After telling Dave I wanted to become an okra farmer he went out and purchased me seeds and mini potting pods to start the process. We planted them 3 days ago and we already have sprouts. I am very excited and hope I can really produce a crop of okra. So the reason WHY I want to grow okra is so I can pickle it and sell it. Well, maybe not sell it just yet, but at least eat it. As a child I grew up eating my Dad/Stepmother's pickled okra; he grew it, she pickled it. Well since he hasn't grown any in the past few years I have resorted to purchasing it in the grocery store and needless to say it isn't as good!! I had an epiphany a while back and that is were I decided to become an okra farmer and mass produce the world's best pickled okra. If you aren't from the South you probably can't appreciate my love for pickled okra. I will keep you posted on the status of the okra, if I can't keep it alive I always have Dave with his green thumb!!

You'll have to let me know how that goes, Drew would love that. He's already decided that we are going to grow tomatoes.
I've never had pickled Okra! That's terrible. And what's worse, I'm not sure I want to try it, LOL!
