Girlfriend went with me to the seed stor this year. When I ask for a pound of okra seed she said "Hell no you ain't planting none of that stuff this year or you can cut it" So no fresh okra this year but the frizen is almost as good.
Just put it in a zip lock and freze it just like it came off the plant.nr said:alabama said:Last year I planted 8 rows 250 feet long and Girlfriend kept it picked. The frezer is still full of okra.

LOL You do things BIG in Alabama! Can't imagine keeping up with
that many feet of okra plants. Enuf to drive any girl away I'm surprised she stuck around for another summer.
When you freeze it do you blanch it first or just throw it iin the freezer?

You should try it pickled with a hot pepper in it. Good stuff.nr said:Picked our first okra (the experimental crop of the year)
(some red and some green young pods)
and tried frying them but they didn't seem to have much flavor.
Guess I should have asked you first! What do you recommend?
The red burgundy okra plants are really pretty.
