FLRedHart, that's a well maintained fry pan!

Vespertino, I would recommend Evertender Okra which I order from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. It is still tender when it's a little larger than the other varieties and is easy to pick. Highly rated in an extensive trial by the Kerr Center in Oklahoma. Out of 30 varieties, that is not a misprint, it was 1 of 4 with a "very high yield" and rated the easiest to pick out of the 30.

One caveat, the trials stated it got about 38" tall by August 14. Mine, here in South Carolina, are about 5 feet tall by then and end up 8 - 10 feet or so by the time I have to remove them for the winter greens.

After 5 years I'm sticking with them.
