22 Oct 12 Gary (USA - Zone 9b climate)
I live in New Orleans louisiana, united states. I grew about 56 plants this year and enjoyed them very much... A wonderful way to cook them is to stir fry them. All you do is wash them, then cut them onto rings put in a bowl and add italian bread crumbs and salt and pepper and mix. Then take a frying pan and add butter. When the butter is hot add the okra.. cook and stir occasionally til they are crisp.. very good taste.
