lady's fingers, no secrets.

It's the same location when roselle display beautiful flowers, and bright red fruits a few months back. Now it's lady's fingers turn. Both belong to hibiscus family. I go against the norm when I decided to replace roselle with lady's fingers. Even if lady's fingers fail to grow healthily, I will accept with full understanding that crop rotation is necessary to maintain soil's health.

Ladys' fingers fruits, flowers and many buds.

 All seven lady's fingers/ okra/ bendi are happy growing, flowering and fruiting. They don't show any withdrawal symptoms for growing on roselle's old vegetable bed. Probably they appreciate that I have done what I can do to improve the soil condition by immediately putting in organic fertiliser and compost after pulling out roselle.

Lady's fingers hold no secrets what to expect from them. We can count the number of buds waiting for their turn to bloom and produce fruits. Kakdah can in fact plan when to do curry with okra, or when to do giveaways.
