Hi, we are Matt & Sara. Along with our 4 kids, our dog, a cat, 4 pigs and a lot of chickens and even more bees we have been developing our homesteading lifestyle. After over a decade on our property we are finally debt free and using our new FREEDOM to do what we have always wanted to do (be self reliant)! This made it easy to plan our spring garden. Join us in the very beginning stages of planning and hopefully it helps you get your garden started.

Matt is doing something in the video 😂
You'll either love or hate okra, I can't stand it, my wife likes it fried in corn meal, she's from Texas originally though. I never had it until I grew it like 4 yrs ago. Never grew it again. Ended up having to basically saw the plants down, they get huge with thick bases
Good morning Matt and Sara ☀️. What a great idea to get that… definitely will check this place out. Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a wonderful day 💞
This makes me want to start planting. Such a great variety.
I juat got our seeds from Hoss Tool Seeds this past week. Can't wait for next yeat. You are going to have some work next season with all those seeds.
I have never heard of Survival Garden Seeds. I typically get my seeds from Baker Creek. I'll have to check out Survival. I grew up on okra in Hawaii and I'm not a fan. Had it in chicken soup a lot. I miss my garden so much that I bought a hydroponic tub system from Menards, which was a Black Friday Special. 🤣 I'm putting it together today! I just want to plant seeds!
I’m a Minnesotan and I like okra. I didn’t think I’d like it but I do. I’ve never grown it. I have deep fried and sautéed it. I have most of my seeds. I have okra seeds. Going to try.
Those look beautiful and what a wonderful variety!!
You still have fabulous crops in your greenhouse but it is right to start planning the Spring Garden. We save a lot of our seeds but do buy others in December or January.
Fried okra, with potatoes & onions. Cut small 2-3”
Love Butternut squash too!
I’m a northerner in the south hoping to get back north, and I have grown to enjoy okra in the meantime:
1) just eat it raw from the garden
2) breaded/fried
3) duck gumbo (yum)
4) can pickle (ferment or vinegar)
Enjoy!
I'm in Minnesota 4b and grew Tatsoi for first time this year. Is a cool crop that produced all summer. It's Chinese cabbage and is delicious. Easier to grow then regular cabbage. I had no big pressure on it. Will grow it again next year.
How did your giant crimsons do? I finally got some before they sold out and I'm so excited for next season that I'm tempted to grow one plant under a grow light this winter!
I'm in SC. Okra sliced and fried is amazing. Also sliced 8s great in vegetable soup.
How about creamed corn?
Either fry your okra or bake the goo out then sautee it was sausage, shrimp and tomatoes and season with salt and pepper and eat over rice. It's called creole okra shrimp and sausage
I only like okra fries or in stir fry. If the okra isn't spineless then pick them when they are small. If they are a spineless variety you can let them grow bigger. I only do the spineless. Northwest Florida gardener.
Start the stuff you don't think you have a long enough season for in the greenhouse and put on the greenhouse top shelf. It will be warmer up high.
