The potted mature okra plants viewed from my Family Room ( 3.5 ft tall)
Because of the 3-Digit temperatures here in FO, I have to water them daily-a good exercise for my aching knees. I also have intense pleasure cooking them with my own recipes. ( see link at bottom of page)
This year, I planted only Okra in my vegetable garden in a wooden pot, because of the drought and space. The previous years, I had ampalaya, chinese eggplants and tomatoes in my backyard vegetable garden. I planted two varieties of okra-the standard green okra and the red( purple) Okra. I started from seeds ( more than 3 dozens), but due to the bluebirds and squirrels only 7 purple okra and one green variety survived to maturity. I have already harvested more than three dozens okra and had cooked them to my gastronomic delight. Here are some photos, I took the other day.
Newly harvested young okras for my stew and gumbo recipes. For recipes on okra and dishes read the following:
