Advice from our second year of gardening thus far-- Planting Cucumber plants does not work in our area of Missouri. For the second year in a row we had to plant seeds late after losing plants. Oh well, live and learn.

Just for Fun- So, after church one day we were waiting for a roast to finish. We walked outside, pulled some okra and onions. We washed them off, dunked them in milk, then rolled them in corn meal, flour, salt, pepper, seasoning salt and cooked them in some oil. Add a mayonnaise with chipotle seasoning side dish, and well, it was a great appetizer.
