That makes sense. I could not figure out why other things grow good and the
okra just sits there. We are on the verge of summer weather, and I just
reseeded a 10 foot row, maybe this time around they will take off.

I'm guessing that beans also like warmer weather? And cantaloupe? They are
not growing as well as I'd like, it's been a cool wet spring here, and we
really haven't had any warm weather yet. It still drops into the 50s at
night, and if we are lucky it gets up into the 70s during the day. Forecast
for next week - 80s.

I think you are right about the cantalope. We have had a very hot
spring in North Texas and my cantalope patch is prolific. So many of
the
things that I'm going to have to give a lot away.... I have access to

lake water, and can keep them watered, but I am sure the hot, sunny,
weather is a good thing for them..

Thanks for the post about Okra. I will try it for sure, maybe even
try to
plant some tomorrow if it's not too late....
