And we celebrated by having a huge bonfire.
This year starting with...3 rows of okra...1 row succini (to busy to look up how to spell it)..2 rows of tomatoes...3 rows of corn...9 cabbage plants...a patch of onions...
Planning on planting a row of apple trees on the northern slope of the field end to middle of the season.

Grats! Sounds like a nice harvest.
Try growing weed next year once us liberals get it legalized. And then we'll take half of it in taxes, mwahaha.

This is doing it right. More fruit!
Allegory,
Fresh cabbage and corn beef brisket is the sh*t!
I did pull out 15 banana plants from the basement and planted them. To bad even when they do produce the banana's are way to sweet to eat.
Also we have already have pear trees in my grandmothers field.

Locked,
If it was legal I'd have 4 acres of it growing.

Are you originally from the south? 'Cause we are from MI and moved to TN. My mom makes that, and I love the conred beef (never was a big fan of the cabbage) and whenever I told my friends about it down here, no one had ever had it.
Tulip,
Never lived north of the mason dixon. Actually never lived north of knoxville, excluding germany of course. My bro used to be a cook at a 4 star restaurant and that's something he picked up in his cooking days.

Interesting. Now I'm hungry for corned beef and boiled potatoes... I'm going to have to stop at the store on my way home.

Oh.
That stuff's delicious.
Cool beans, Varrus. I hope it all turns out really well.

Okra is delicious. And it's pretty easy to grow . . . we had it next to our tomato vines when I was growing up.
We'll see. Some will do well others won't. The biggest thing about the whole deal is setting up the proper irrigation system. Last year I f*cked up by having too many plants that vined; made it impossible to weed 2 months in.
This year keeping it pretty simple with soaker hoses and the rows are far enough apart to rotovate between them (and the black cloth/plastic, whatever it is; that goes over the plants).
I'll post pictures.

It's not like he's some snidely whiplash character, twirling his mustache and laughing as liberals are getting run over by a train.Whenever he isn't talking about political agenda, he actually does seem pretty nice and affable.

Taxes should vary with the quality of the weed, of course

Perhaps the use you might have heard of is in gumbo. The okra acts to thicken it. (I don't know how common or authentic this is - I'm no expert). Alone, okra is often served battered and fried. It is common in the US South among many other places on Earth (I think in parts of India it is a staple food). My wife's folks are from Oklahoma/Arkansas area (Ozarks) and they love okra.
mmm cabbage is also delicious in spring rolls. That garden sounds awesome. I wish I could grow something other than spider plants (I haven't figured out how to grow anything else in Texas soil)
Zucchini.
Makes great bread.

I can understand misspelling it, it's a tough word.
But not knowing it starts with a 'z'?
Boiled cabbage with bacon and salt is f'n awesome. And by awesome, I mean it keeps me regular.

Did you go wild with a side of prune jello on your seventieth birthday?
No peppers?! Travesty! I'm crazy jealous V, I'm hoping to move soon so I don't dare plant anything. I'm going to satisfy my green thumb by planting a few perennial herbs in the little kitchen garden off my deck as a selling feature, but that's it.
The next house I buy though will be having a veggie garden every year. There are so many vegetables that just taste completely different when you pick them fresh and eat them. I thought I hated green beans for about 15 years until I had them fresh from the garden.
Happy eating!

I'm too lazy to grow veggies in the ground. I have three varieties of hot pepper growing in pots but that's it. I have far too many perennials in my yard to care about anything else. :(
Good luck with your cabbage though.
