Over the past 3 weeks or so, the daily high has dropped to 100 or below and my okra has finally begun to produce! Since nothing else has really changed (still no rain!) I must attribute the lack of production to be the direct result of the +100 degree heat we experienced daily in July and August. Guess the Alabama extension office was right!! Again, thanks for the website. Kenny, just a folllow-up report for information on my posts above on my lack of okra production.
