Early this morning a trip to the Vet with four weaned heifers that got shots and weigh in for "keepers". One of the 7.5 month olds weighed in at 615#s...big girl. These are all limflex ( cross between Limosin and Angus).
Between chickens and garden watering, picked corn, beets and squash. Made a trip to Shawnee for prescriptions and dinner with hubby.
Back to chickens and after rearranging roosts in the teen pen to encourage them up off the ground at night, we are settled in for the evening.....been a very long day!

NanaKat- Do you have enough beets to sell? My mother cans beets when she can find them. She has a recipe (sp) that she has developed over the years, and they are delicious. I'll buy some from you if you have enough.
Kassandra How's the okra coming along?

Sorry Upcdayz...the beets are nearly gone now. I planted two 15 foot rows in February and the extended family has eatten greens, harvard beets and my MIL has pickled beets for later. Beets don't like all this heat and are beginning to get woody. I'll pickle the few that are left.
Crow Farms near Shawnee supply veggies to the local farmer's market. I bought a bushel from them last year when mine didn't make. Put up 24 quart jars of pickled beets using my old family recipe. My girls and their families love them and I'm down to 5 jars.
There used to be a Farmers Market in OKC at the OSU extension center on Portland about the 400 block. I think it was on Saturday mornings.
Kassandra, I didn't plant okra this year because my MIL and SIL planted enough for the whole family. I'm trading her corn for okra. Her plants are putting on little pods now on plants that are two feet tall. She planted really thick and is still thinning the rows...says it's a shame to pull out such beautiful plants...but if she wants nice okra, she has to do it. Should have enough for a good "mess" this next week.

I planted a lot of okra a couple of years ago - 150 seeds that grew into beautiful stalks and put on a lot of pods, but they were tasteless. Absolutely no flavor at all. I'm guessing I have a soil problem in the area where it was planted, and haven't planted it again. Last year I planted green beans in the same area, added hay for mulch then turned it over during the winter. It helped enrich (sp) the soil, but I didn't plant anything at all this year because of the previous years' disappointments. I bought 2 bushels of okra from a local farmer near Yukon and froze that last year. It turned out wonderful, and we had it all through the winter. I should probably take a soil sample over the OSU extension for testing before I plant anything else.

Did someone ask for one of these?
here is where it came from.

Been installing a gate in a GN trailer the past couple of days. First I had to build the gate and then install it in the trailer. If it wasn't for the Porta-cool I would have already fell out from heat.

My okra plants look good and are growing, but no where near as far along as nanakat's. Something is thinning my plants for me though, and eating the beans yet again, this time it's not the bunny from h*ll b/c they are behind a fence. Oh well I didn't need the carbs anyway, right!? lol
I won't know if my okra is tasteless or not though, I don't eat it, the only veggie I have ever come across I won't eat.
