Ours tonight was grilled pork loin steaks with locally grown new
potatoes and fried okra (also local) . Won't be long until we'll be
eating okra from our garden , several plants have small pods now .
'Maters are coming on too , I grow all open pollinated heirlooms . The
field peas , squashes , and peppers are also doing well , picked 3 small
cucumbers today too .

I usually plant okra but this year summer began a month late so there
wouln't be enough time in this north country... but I will miss those
gorgeous golden blossoms. I like to add okra to vegetable soups and
especially to Manhattan clam chowder. Some years I've harvested so
much that I'd freeze the pods for winter stewps.

A suggestion for okra - slice it up and put it on a cookie sheet
w/wax paper and freeze it . Portion it out in package sizes you use and
vacuum seal then back into the freezer . It can then go still frozen
straight into soups , batter for frying or whatever . I do tomatoes
kinda like that , just wash 'em and freeze , then bag 'em in gallon
ziplock with the skin still on . To use in soups/sauces just run 'em
under hot water and slip the skin off and trim the stem . I guess you
could slip the skins off and let them thaw for use in salsa or similar
dishes .

We don't care for fried okra but we like it in stewps, we like it as a
thickener. However mostly I like their gorgeous golden flowers.
