Okra flower or pod? I cantt tell the difference
I'm having a hard time telling the difference between an okra that is ready to be picked and eaten, and a flower bud/. I picked a couple "real" okras and then picked another one that turned out to be an almost closed (or maybe just opening?) flower bud. I really can't tell when they're ready or not and I"m trying. I never see them flower so either I'm missing it or ... I don't know. Photos online arent really helping me tell the difference.
also, I'm really sick, I have been since Saturday evening, I have barely made it outside to water let alone pick all my ripe tomatoes or eat anything, I'm so sad. my tomatoes are getting bruised and mushy from waiting for me to eat them but I can't taste anything and have no appetite. I'm going to have to make an effort to go out and pick a lot of stuff tomorrow, I bet the squash and zucchini have overgrown, but I have been to tired to make it to the computer or the toilet so I really don't want to go out in the heat. I took my dog out and almost passed out.
My boyfriend is going to do the work for me this evening thankfully, and make salsa with some tomatoes. I hope he buys some canning equipment. I can't store too many tupperwares in the fridge and my freezer is tiny.
on the plus side my neighbor bought some tmatoes from me this morning/ she paid a dollar, I was going to let her have them for free but she refused. I have too many anyway so I gave her WAY more than a market dollars worth/ I feel a little bad though, i gave her the best ones of the mushy ones on the counter, but I was not about to go out in the heat and pick fresh ones/ I will have my BF bring her some fresh ones tomorrow.
(please pardon my poor spelling, I'm on a wireless keyboard that reacts poorly and the screen is too far away to see how good I'm doing)
