I also planted some fall tators, so far not looking good. But the heat has really settled in down here. So not expecting much.

Well were in the middle of the heat here. August is usually hot, humid, & dry...This crazy break in humidity had to be celebrated! lol. If the taters don't rot from the heat (i used some sulfur powder) They should produce something...Good luck to you on making taters!

I just replanted mist of my garden as I've havested most already,,The westher hot here in Augusta (Harlem area) but we have been getting lots of rain making it favorable to start again for nov harvest,but the heat index is hard on a 65 year old guy ,I guess all you need is a weak mind !!! To get through it so to eat well at Thanksgiving

Sounds good!I hope your Blessed with a great crop! I stopped in at a Walmart coming back from a Dr. app... I knew they would be cheaper than in our little town. It's a gamble hot as the ground temp is, but it will be worth it if they make!

I could sure use some of that humidity! Here in Idaho the locals, and local wannabes, complain that 20% humidity is too high. Personally I have no problem operating that manual backhoe in triple digit temps with that low humidity, but I need to keep reminding myself to drink a LOT of water. But then I'm still acclimated to Florida climate (TS this weekend, apparently - my Fla garden can use the rain).

Sounds like you will have more than enough rain! Yep you know that feeling! Low humidity cool nights is amazing in August! I could stand another day or two like that...Enjoy the weather up there, don't let the Ole manual backhoe get you down!

Use small tender okra, it makes a crunchy snack, like a chip! it will take on whatever flavor you put on it...Cut the ends off, coat in oil (I used olive oil), season with your favorite flavor...(salt, pepper garlic is good) Dehydrate about 24hr. Great way to handle extra okra too! Thanks
