Maybe okra? One or two plants will give you all you want. I love little
pickled okra, but sometimes I just eat them straight off the plant. When
they are little they are crunchy and great. I have some seed that I
harvested from previous plantings and would be more than happy to send you a
few so you wouldn't be our any cash.

I'm in 7b (Atlanta), and it's getting hot.

I have a small garden in the sunniest part of my shady yard, which gets
varying amounts of shade in the afternoon. In one of the shadier spots my
snow peas look like the heat is taking them out, and I'd like to replace
them. What would be good to plant there at this time? Perhaps some hot
weather leafy vegetable although I'm unsure what that may be. Or is that a
good spot for herbs? There's a fence there to grow on.

On another note, I harvested my first (and only, lots of flowers that
fall off) zucchini and the tomatoes have finally set some fruit (at 4'
tall). The cukes are running rampant (lots of flowers) and the melons look
like they are ready to take off. Carrots look healthy too and I think the
bell pepper has set fruit.

Okra is wonderful to grow, but it likes full sun. I don't know how it
would do with partial sun, but I might try if I didn't really care
what the results were. It's probably a little early for turnips and
turnip greens, but that's an idea too.
