I grew the red burgundy okra last summer. I found it to be such an attractive plant that I'm going to plant it in the flower bed in front of the house as well. It was very tropical looking. Like a small pale yellow tropical hibiscus flower with a burgundy throat. Everyone commented on it.

Here's a bottom line question for those of us trying to squeeze dollars

What's your farm's proven cash cow - the one product that means the most
to your bottom line?
I don't know that I'd call it a "cash cow", but okra is usually
attractive. If I can sell it. Start picking it in May or June and
then pick it EVERY day for about five months. Weed it just a little
early on, then it's on it's own. Run some water between the rows every
week or so.
