Thank you! I laughed when I saw how your plants ran amok. One of our plants climbed halfway up a cherry tree.

How do you save your okra seed? This year when I planted the seed I saved they didnt sprout.

@player33due ... Check out my video on saving okra seeds. You have to let them completely dry out on the plant before collecting the seed......Donald

sorry im off topic, but i got a question about corn, three years now i have grown corn and no matter how much 7dust or spray i use i always get those worms that eat my corn. how do u get rid of them, or do u have that problem??

@jude1c9v ... I think everybody has that problem. I just break off the end with the worm and really don't worry about it. I don't think it's worth the cost of the spray........Donald

@webcajun I will have to do that next time spray ahead of time just to keep ready for bugs.

@prairiepatch ... I could see how that would work real well. Glad you enjoy the videos.......Donald

I always love your videos Donald, don't ever stop making them. Beautiful garden and beautiful squash. I remember my Mom saying that they would store their melons and squash deep in the grain bins for the winter. Even in the coldest of our Canadian winters it would keep the produce above freezing. She said it was fun to dig around in the grain searching for a squash or whatever.

@sakinehbs ... They get even more orange with age.....Donald
