- 17/01/2010 Started seeds in peat pots with compost.
- 30/01/2010 Five seedlings planted around the vegetable garden (along with Okra Clemson Spineless and Spaghetti Squash)
- 01/02/2010 Just discovered picture of flowering red okra from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange (at right) and am struck by beauty of flower, that okra is a fruit, the stems are also red, and also that okra grows in the opposite direction that I expected. Wow! (Another pretty pic from Seed Savers Exchange.)
