We are still expecting rain for the next five days, but there is a break until this evening. I transplanted some of the peppers and my first okra plants.
I never grew okra, since it never grew well on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Here everybody grows okra, so I never bothered until this year. While not as prolific as the blackberry, it does sprout and grow quickly. I should have done this earlier.
In southeast Kansas, the blackberry is a weed and will take over a field if left alone. Fortunately, my neighbor let her brush fire get slightly out of control and burned about a third of my field. Now if I can get the field to dry out, I can get my field back in shape and still have more blackberries that I can eat.
My dehydrator has been busy this spring and will get busier this summer. My blackberries are not going to waste.
