Passion plant and okra
i think i'm going to start using the appearance of my transplanted wild
passion plants for planting my okra! last year i learned much about planting okra, primarily that the ground temperature must be 70F or above! i went thru 2 plantings which withered before finding the knowledge on-line. sure enough, the ground temp was 66F. so i waited and measured, waited and measured until i got a reading of 70F. lo an behold my okra survived. so two days ago i check grond temp and it is indeed 70 and today i see my passion plants have shot up to 2-3 inchs tall! -- regards, piedmont (michael) The Practical BBQ'r - http://sites.google.com/site/thepracticalbbqr/ (mawil55) Hardiness Zone 7-8 |

The plant stems and pods are a beautiful dark red and I think they produce more than other types. Steve (got to plant some of that ivy today, makes good pickles they say) |
