I discovered this spring that placing seeds in the earth is not gardening. For the first time, okra would not grow. What a disappointment!! After three months, I pull up the four okra plants, which had grown to over three feet, and search for tips on gardening. My best tool became YouTube videos, which ranged from urban farming to composting. By viewing these videos, I realized that my soil needed to be amended. After two months of amending the soil, the first seeds and seedlings were planted this week.
