HELP Granny! - did you can and pickle by moon signs?<<<
I do not know.
I am a novice at following the moon signs, but have read about how they affect the plants and it makes sense, in that if you want below the ground level roots and fruits, it is planted in the dark, so they are dark/underground longer.

Canning Okra for Frying
Miscellaneous Recipes | Vegetables Recipes
SAVERATEEMAILPRINT
Yield: 4 quarts
When canned like this it tastes just like fresh okra from the garden in the middle of winter.
* 4 quarts water
* 4 quarts Okra (cut)
* 1/2 cups vinegar
* 4 tablespoons Canning Salt
Place all ingredients in a pot on stove and bring to a boil and then turn heat off, you do not want to cook the okra.
Heat lids and jars for canning per normal canning guidelines.
Fill jars to within 1/2” of head space and seal.
Turn upside down and leave for 2 days.
When you are ready to fry, dump the jar of okra into a strainer, do not rinse. Take the okra and toss in cornmeal and fry as normal.
