It looks like a squash plant to me . The big long stemmed flowers are male flowers soon you will see some that look like the picture I added below and that will grow into a squash if it’s pollinated .
They are very young only 3 true leaves . We just watered so the soil is damp but dries well during he day . There’s been really high humidity I guess that could be causing it but it’s not something on the leaves the brown spots are almost see trough they are so thin .
Ok I found the ant hill surrounded it with DE and put GOBBS off Vaseline on the main stream and the teen that horse to the okra pods so far so good ! Keeping my fingers crossed .
@Ridgerunner l already contacted the extension office he said he’s had problems with ants and okra also he’s the one that suggested the DE. I looked in the morning at night with a flash light couldn’t find any thing other than ants on the okra they pile up in little like feeding frenzies then...
I tried the DE it didn’t work . @flowerbug what kind of hoppy concoction ? I’ll try anything. I originally thought aphids to but there aren’t any the ants just attack the okra and the flowers they have killed every single one !

I can’t help with the rot I’ve had the same problem . The mildew on the other hand I had everywhere I mixed a solution of 1 gallon of water 2 tablespoons of baking soda and half a teaspoons of dish soap sprayed it all over the leaves and within 2 days it was all gone .
I feel like my garden went haywire in a week ;(. I’ve posted pictures below I found some kind of mold I’ve never seen on my zucchini this morning . Then weird yellow spots on the leaves of my pumpkin plant ! Then 5 million ants on my okra . And suggestions ?
Ok just wanted to update everybody the powdery mildew is gone I removed all the dead leaves and fruit added mulch and watered . They are already looking better and 2 even have new leaves and blooms growing so keeping my fingers crossed . Thanks everybody for all the advice !!
Ok I dug up a plant no grubs ! I’m really happy about that . A mix of water baking soda and a bit of dish soap took care of the powdery mildew . Tomorrow I’m going to add some compost around the stems that are now very exposed and mulch . I don’t know if it will help? ducks4you our soil is...
