Okra ( Ladyfinger)



My favorite vegetable ....Ladies Finger. inspiration from friends and the delicious okra fry prompted me to start roof gardening. Managed to collect seeds from Kerala Agricultural College (Nadan Vitthu). From 3 plants I am getting 13 Okra in a week to prepare curry. I stopped buying okra from shop. 13 okra is not much sufficient  to prepare a fry, now planted 5 more plants.






                                                                                        


Seed was sown on a tray first so that the seedlings can be transplanted. Make sure that the soil should not be marshy and the seedlings should be exposed to the sunlight.



After 70 days, 
Plants will give rise to leaves with small buds on the anterior part , which will fetch the flower and the fruit as it grows. Please find the snaps below on flowers and the fruit.



Flowers emerged and you can view teh pollination, when ever I reach the roof top i would be surprised to see the bees particularly for the pollination.
Okra in its shape...............
looking as fresh as it was born.........
Due drops on top of it gives a better afresh sight..........






I was excited to pluck okra and hurriedly looking to a curry rather a OKRA FRY!!!!!........


See the beauty of fingers..., the lady's finger









Fry is ready.I had the same at office   and enjoyed the taste and the output of my effort silently without making others feel of it. However I want to share my excitement, so doing it through this blog.

  3. This is such a useful post! WPC panels for walls offer a sleek, eco-friendly solution for both interiors and exteriors. I especially like their low-maintenance properties and resistance to moisture. We used them in a commercial setting, and they still look brand new after a year. I'm curious if you’ve compared hollow-core vs. solid-core WPC panels—might be an interesting topic for future posts. Thanks for the great advice and inspiration!

  4. Jumbo bag plastic solutions are essential for industries that deal with high-volume goods. These bags offer strength and flexibility, especially when transporting bulk powders, chemicals, or grains. I’ve been comparing various types recently and noticed differences in weave tightness and lining materials. Some suppliers offer UV-treated bags for outdoor storage, which is a big plus. Does anyone know which brands are best for humid climates? The right Jumbo bag plastic can reduce product loss and improve safety. Your insights or supplier suggestions would be appreciated!
