I guess I'm in for a world of trouble, Robin. I have 12 Fife Creek Okra plants growing out there right now!

Luckily my Mom, daughter, grandson and I love okra!

Gumbo any way, breaded fried whole, breaded sliced and fried, in vegetable mixes, any way we can get 'em. I'll have to freeze and can some then.

I'm told you can whack 'em down during the hot, hot times and let them come back later in the year (fall) months here in Texas...... Now I'll have to find my extended pruning loppers.... LOL! Standing at 5'5" isn't going to help.

I'll need more okra recipes too.
