Default Hill Country Red okra overwintered :)

So, I grew some Hill Country Red okra, last year. It was cool, but late, and I never ended up harvesting and seeding it (I had lots of other stuff to seed, and I never got to that one before it snowed).

Anyway, we got lots of snow over the winter, and it got down to about -21° F.

Today, I went out in the garden to clean up, and I collected the seeds from the Hill Country Red okra. I noticed that some of them had roots! So, apparently, they survived the winter. I'm pretty happy about that, as it was my only fat okra variety, it seems. They should do a lot better this year.
