Oklahoma Horticultural and Agricultural trials of a new strain of okra we've developed on our Certified organic Farm in Moodys, Oklahoma may very well show that 'Heavy Hitter' is the heaviest producing okra variety in the World! New field trial studies of 'Heavy Hitter' okra are being conducted through collaboration of Agricultural Agencies, University Extension Research Specialists, Organic Foundations, and private endeavors, in four separate regions across the State of Oklahoma in 2012. Offerings of this seed will most likely become available as soon as 2013, through results of this multifaceted research. Soon, Heavy Hitter will be "THE" Variety to Own, if you are looking for a heavy weight contender to battle your neighbor's, 'Zeebest' okra for the World Okra Title!. Heavy Hitter cannot be beat for its deep-South, wholesome, organic flavor, tender pods, heat hardiness, and resistance to disease, hail or insect damage... Very simply put, Heavy Hitter is not Zee best..... It's THE BEST!!!! This new strain promises to top the okra seed market, producing 30 to 60 fruiting branches on sturdy, 2" inch diameter stalks! Its massive root system makes it tolerant of severe drought conditions, such as those exhibited in 2011, when a single Heavy Hitter plant produced nearly 300 pods of marketable okra in one season!

This strain has produced plants with more than 60 branches, that bore over 200 okra pods per season. It is not uncommon to see 30 or more tender pods on these plants simultaneously.

]]> Comment on Summer is gone, but the folks at the Tahlequah Farmers Market have brought Spring time back to us in late September! Saturday morning there were fresh radishes, fresh turnips, fresh lettuce, fresh onions, fresh cucumbers, and fresh yellow summer squash, with fresh zucchini thrown in for good measure. I don’t know about you, but my garden is about shot! I don’t know how these folks do it! They even had fresh tomatoes that looked better than the ones I picked in July! The Tahlequah Farmers Market always hosts a wide selection of fresh goods that never cease to amaze me. I walked by one stand in particular where the smell of fresh bell peppers wafted along the cool breeze, mixed with just a hint of fresh cucumber. Instantly, I was carried back to June in my mind! Such a fresh smell! Such great flavor! Two tents down the row were fresh watermelons! What a delight! we are so lucky to have this resource right at our finger tips. I always enjoy a good walk at the Farmers Market! Now that Fall has officially arrived, I will make it a regular part of my Saturday routine to walk through the Market, just for the chance to smell that delicious freshness. Oh, and to chat with a few of my new Market friends too. by Xiomara Bauman http://tahlequahfarmersmarket.com/blog/2009/09/22/summer-is-gone-but-the-folks-at-the-tahlequah-farmers-market-have-brought-spring-time-back-to-us-in-late-september-saturday-morning-there-were-fresh-radishes-fresh-turnips-fresh-lettuce-fresh-on/comment-page-1/#comment-2861 Xiomara Bauman Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:54:20 +0000 http://tahlequahfarmersmarket.com/blog/?p=67#comment-2861 A round of applause for your article post.Really looking forward to read more.

I was born in Cherokee County Oklahoma and raised on a farm. My Grandma and Mama did most of the gardening work and I tagged along. Everyone in the family had a job doing different tasks on the farm. If there was any sewing to do, Aunt Mandie would do it. If there was any carpentry work to be done, Uncle Jeff and Uncle Orval were on it. Dad did the electrical work around the place, Uncle James did the welding. The two of them and Uncle Otis also did veterinary work and knew what all medicines and things to use on the cattle, hogs, horses, dogs, chickens, cats, goats,and anything that happened along. Uncle Otis was a medic in the invasion of Africa-against the Nazis in WWII, he was really good to have around for doctoring things back up. Uncle Jeff and Uncle Orval were C.B.s in the Normandy Beach and Omaha Beach landings, they knew how to fix almost anything. We had a big family, with Aunts, Uncles, Parents, and Grandparents, all living on the 210 acre homestead. Grandma passed much of what she knew about gardening to me in the years before she died. Mama worked along side her, hoeing, planting, picking, sharing stories, and canning for the whole family. They brought me up, planting by the sign. We butchered hogs by the sign, weened calves by the sign, Had teeth pulled by the sign, forecast weather by the camphor floating in a whiskey bottle, doctored with kerosene, sugar, and cob webs, broke the garden with a mule and did our own veterinary work. Living off the farm was a hard life, but it was so rich in family values, that no amount of money could ever buy that sort of education. Thanks to the way I was raised, I've been a horse wrangler, a mule skinner, a welder, a licensed, union, journeyman electrician, a licensed plumber, a carpenter, a barn builder, a roof inspector, a construction/maintenance supervisor, and a licensed and certified school teacher. I've traveled through 40 States and held jobs in 16 of them. Right now - I'm just a farmer. I like farming the best. Most all of the relatives who raised me have passed on, including my Mom. Most all of the favorite old horses have long since died of old age, but the memories and knowledge left to me by my Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, will live as long as I do. I try to teach my kids everything I know. Everything on my blog is tested and seems to be reliable. I was born in Cherokee County Oklahoma and raised on a farm.
