Summer vegetable garden grows in New Hampshire

Purchased seedling from UNH green house
Variety:  Millionaire

Sowed some old popping corn for the fun of it.
Even if it doesn't produce edible corn, watching the tassel grow is worthwhile.

OK...finally signs of okra!
With a hot summer I am keeping my fingers crossed to harvest okra.
Plan to freeze it for winter gumbo.
Seed variety:  Clemson Spineless #80/Ferry Morse Co.
Started indoors after freezing seeds to soften outer seed casing.
