If there is one vegetable that thrives throughout a long, hot summer, it has to be okra. In theory, it should do well wherever corn grows. I grow okra to eat, but I have grown a miniature variety as an ornamental during my sojourn in Nebraska and really enjoyed the yellow flowers. The flowers look much like their mallow family cousins, including hibiscus, hollyhock, and the Rose of Sharon. For more on this Southern Vegetable; CLICK HERE
