Rajun, those seed you sent me are now producing okra like crazy. I love how the plants stay shorter than standard Cowhorn which is usually too tall to pick by this time of the year. My good buddy grew the regular Cowhorn and can no longer pick his because it is so tall now. That is the reason I quit growing Cowhorn okra about five year ago.

After thinning the plants so they are about six feet apart and switching them a couple of times they really went to town. The plants are now all between 5 and 7 feet tall but they are almost six feet across with numerous producing stems. I only have ten plants now and can't give the okra away fast enough so I am going to ask if anyone knows a good way to freeze okra. I would love to have a couple of gallons put away for gumbo in the winter months.
