26/6: Not Okra Then What?

Well at least it is confirmed what I've been trying to grow here is not okra. Lynn from the US, who sent me the seeds as a swap, confirmed that what I am growing here is not okra but so far has not been able to tell me what else she might have sent me by mistake.

The leaves are quite distinctive.


The plants as they are growing are all definitely climbers and

I must confess I am a little disappointed as I was really looking forward to harvesting okra for the first time, hopefully I'll get some true okra seeds and have another go. I've got three planted out in the garden taking up valuable space but I don't want to pull them out until I know what they are, they might be edible after all.
