Nice harvest 😊
Okra is one of my favs. This you had a great harvest. I will try these next year. Thanks so much.
Jambalaya is so tasty, it's like American biryani.
I’m trying a dwarf cowhorn okra this year and am very impressed with it. It isn’t supposed to grow more than about four feet tall, and it branches; the branches are as productive as the main trunk, and the pods have reached 7-8” and not gone tough, so it’s VERY productive for its footprint. It’s also open pollinated, so seed saving is possible. I got it from Lazy Dog Farm, from their website.
