It was donated, much preferable to having it go to waste.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-7098714235221702042012-07-05T18:53:33.808-07:002012-07-05T18:53:33.808-07:00It's funny how you beat them to the punch line...It's funny how you beat them to the punch line. We make a lot of gumbos at our house and although we do not grow our own, often farmers will just GIVE it to us at our local farmers market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-5511646915661916952012-07-05T08:27:32.105-07:002012-07-05T08:27:32.105-07:00Hi Sanda - What a nice compliment coming from a gr...Hi Sanda - What a nice compliment coming from a great gardener like you! Okra must be the easiest plant to grow in this climate, because I did nothing other than to start the seeds inside and then transplant outside in full sun. Funny you should mention Catfish - that was another of those thinks that I liked immediately as a child.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-80139508026876988492012-07-05T08:17:05.922-07:002012-07-05T08:17:05.922-07:00Hi Patricia - Thanks!

I suppose it doesn't hold up well to long distance shipment or perhaps one has to grow up eating it to fully appreciate the taste and texture. Kinda like eating catfish. Your okra plants look great, I have never planted it myselfsandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-38369281998193197162012-07-04T23:46:06.136-07:002012-07-04T23:46:06.136-07:00Well done, Beryl, that is a very healthy looking O...Well done, Beryl, that is a very healthy looking Okra bush. Haven't found okra in Australia, but did try it last time we stayed with friends in Texas. Deep fried version, as I recall, and I happily ate it!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.com
