Since the weather's been hot, the okra plant really likes it and has been flowering and growing okra. Yay! We've waited so long with nothing happening. One of the only good things about hotter weather is the plants that love them.

First come these beautiful flowers. They only last about one day and then shrivel back up.

| Growing Okra |
Then the okra starts growing. That larger okra only took about two days to grow. Notice the fuzzy brown shriveled up bud on the left. There should be another okra there too. Depending on how you like okra, you can pick/cut them whenever you desire. We don't like large okra because we feel the smaller ones are more tender. So you can grow okra in Southern California...just have to wait for the hotter weather (so the growing season won't be THAT long).
