オクラ|Okra

庭のオクラ|Okra in the garden
オクラを育てるのは今年で2年目。花も楽しめて、形も好き。オクラの実はすぐ大きくなって固くてサクサクになってしまうのでちょこちょこ様子を見ながら収穫をするようにしてる。

It's the second year I've grown okras. I like growing them because the flowers are so pretty and I like how the fruits grow. Last year I only had one plant that survived so just got to harvest one at a time. This year I have a few plants growing so I can harvest a few fruits at a time. Better for cooking. Must watch out for them every few days because they grow pretty fast and overgrown okras are hard not as tasty in my opinion.
