Checking to say that I got my first okra today...21 pods! Because of so much rain earlier, I was a bit late in planting it, so I am good to go now...served w/some Silver Queen corn...Oh, MY!!

W/the zuhcinii out of production, I also picked the 1st my late planted yellow straight neck squash, a bucket full of tomatoes, 6 sweet green peppers....and some cucumbers. My provervbial cup, refrigerator, and kitchen counter runneth over. LOL

(The heat, though, is cooling my gardening efforts since there's more need to draw the hose around to water everything.)

Yeah! I hear you. I keep walking in the house with more and more tomatoes and peppers every morning and my wife says, “where are you going to put them”? I have tomatoes in every stage from slightly yellow-pink to deep ripe red all over the place. As they ripen I am canning them - mostly pureed. Some oven roasted - yummmmm!

I have to grow some Okra next year! I love it. My wife is no fan of Okra but I have a feeling if I grow it she will try it - same thing happend with Eggplant, she would never eat it but when I grew some and sauted it up she enjoyed it. She is coming around nicely!

How do you cook your Okra?
