pickle some. I began growing okra from when I visited Belize many
years ago and saw them growing everywhere; large handsome plants with
gorgeous blossoms. Okra does best in warmer climes but they grow here
in NY too.


Yeah, they're one of my more successful crops in CT, despite failures
with normal hot weather crops like peppers, eggplants, and tomatos
other than cherry size. The funny part is my attempts to grow Hibiscus
failed, but the okra are gorgeous.
