Default cold now, thinking ahead for spring plantings

Being from Texas I've eaten a lot okra in my life. I do love fried okra,
but I think my favorite might actually be pickled. It's hard to say. I
also really like it right off the plant. It's great cooked whole and
salted in a little oil in a skillet. About the only way I don't really
like it is boiled. It gets so slimey. I know you rinse it, but that's
too much effort.


i don't really seem to mind it about any way with fried
being the most popular to many people. since i can eat
oatmeal i can handle a bit of okra if it is cooked up and
a bit slimy. doesn't bother me. we're not much for
growing it here ourselves so most experience i have with
it is remote. my brother grows some if he manages to put
in a garden.
