Star of David is a good one, just don't let them get too long before you pick 'em (same goes for most varieties...)

I love reading this thread Okra is one of my favorite veggies to grow (and eat.) I really get a kick out of people freaking out over the slime factor. That's the best part!

This year I'm growing Burgundy, Bowling Red, and Fife Creek. I like trying new ones every year, but I have to say S of D is one of my all-time favorites. It has a somewhat stronger flavor, and my plants grew over ten feet high. That's when I learned to prune them. :wink:
