I did buy the stuff to make pickles, but my wife suffered a knee injury a few days ago, so life here is in crisis mode. Plus, SIL in hospital w/chest pain, undergoing test round the clock.
We grew okry two years ago, but the plot did not have enough sunny hours, I think. Okry thrives on heat, plant’em here in SE Texas in June. We harvested a few ziplok bags of okry, but not the bumper crop that we expected.
Oh my! Sorry to hear about your wife’s injury! ...and the SIL’s chest pain. Hope both are on the mend rapidly!
We were pleased with the amount which our 4 little plants-turned-into-okra-jungle gave, and we had decided to let anything remaining just stay there to go to seed, so the removed branches isn’t a big deal. But since I’ve never experienced okra before, I just was interested to see if that is a normal behavior of them to shed when it gets colder.
I wish you well in your pickle making when things settle down a bit for you!
