(Unbreaded.) I also like it just boiled with butter and lots of pepper. Funny about the strawberries still being there when you got back. Most of the other gardeners are big fans of okra, so I was also surprised to see it when I got back. But I suspect that the extreme heat kept everyone out of the garden.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-70796894377156256162012-09-16T19:47:38.542-07:002012-09-16T19:47:38.542-07:00Hi Patricia - I love how little boys play Superher...Hi Patricia - I love how little boys play Superhero!

When we got back we had a ton of strawberries. He'd never come into our garden, only peered over the fence and all the berries were hidden under leaves. I can imagine someone not perhaps wanting okra, but who wouldn't want strawberries? I've only ever had pickled okra (which was nice but perhaps a bit of trouble to produce) and fried okra, which of course is delicious but fattening. How do you cook your okra? I'm guessing these swords are inedible? Shame they've gone to waste...Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-6304869756382799492012-09-15T21:48:14.076-07:002012-09-15T21:48:14.076-07:00Hi Beryl, my grandson the Superhero would love one...Hi Beryl, my grandson the Superhero would love one of those swords!
