Okra is delicious...gotta steam it tho
Wait until whatever you're cooking is almost done then put the okra on top...cover with lid

The watermelon we pulled wasn’t ripe enough yet for me, but the kids still ate it, lol.
How can you tell when a watermelon is ripe?
Look for the yellow spot: Watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground. When this splotch is creamy yellow, it's ripe. Give it a thump: Tap the underbelly of the watermelon. A ripe one will have a deep hollow sound, which means it is brimming with juice and at the peak of its ripeness.
Old folks always thump em. I'm hit or miss with them

Look for that yellow patch on the bottom
Knock on it...if it sounds hollow it's ripe

I had the yellow patch in the bottom, but I didn’t thump on it. Anytime I’ve tried that thump technique in the stores on cantaloupe it all sounds the same to me, lol.
Takes years of training young grasshopper
What's your setup on the watermelon and cantaloupe?
Went to the nursery and showed a picture to the lady and she was like yea it'll be another year or 2 before it fruit and that it looked healthy other than that limb in the bottom right corner that looks scraped off so i cut that branch off and pruned some of the branches in the center that didn't have any growth

We built 2 10’x8’ raised beds in the yard and threw every plant we could think of in there, lol. The vines from the cantaloupe, watermelon, and/or pumpkin basically grew out of the boxes and took over half of that side of the yard. Next time I’m out there I’ll take a current pic.
I just cut up one and was about to do this. Is it one pineapple per top? And does it matter the zone weather wise you in?

Yah it's one per top so i'd suggest a good size planter to get a decent sized one.
I cant speak too much on whens the best time to grow them tho.
I just picked my first cucumber!!! Is spiky as fck got a feeling its gonna be quite bitter, apparently you can shave it and make it less bitter...
