Yesterday, I did not even notice small fruit on my okra plants.  Today, all 
of the plants have okra, two have individual okra over 5" long.  I was either 
blind yesterday, or they really grew fast.  I wish I planted more than (4) 
plants.  I don't know if I'll remember how to tell when its ready to pick.

I picked a few tomatoes, including some very oddshaped red ones (look like a 
thick jalapeno pepperr), and some nice yellow ones.  Most of the tomato 
plants haven't yet put on fruit.  The bell peppers are loaded but very small 
and knarly looking.  The squash still just has big pretty flowers.....bobford
