Workhorse's 2013 bacca patch

[Brown Thumb]

Dont those pine trees drop all kinds of crap, sap needles ect. on the plants?

Never could get to like Okra. Guess it's a developed taste like spinach. To me it always had a "slimy" texture. How many tons of peas did you freeze?

Try it sliced, battered and fried. Squash and green tomatoes are good this way, too.

 

[AmaxB]

I freeze a lot of everything! LOL We have holestein peas, mayflower beans, Green beans, Jackson wonders, Fordhooks, green limas, speckled butter peas, purple hulls, Christmas pole limas, florida speckled buter beans, Clemson spineless okra, cucumber, boston pickling cuke, Ga. rattlesnake watermelon, cantaloupe, truckers fav corn, Cherokee white eagle corn, and Kamut wheat. shew! I don't like okra either grainy, slimy and big seeds. But i'm trying to learn I add a lot of everglades seasoning to it bread it and deep fry it. ( I can almost eat it).

Yes sir keep the okra but by lord you can send the rest here! Got my mouth to watering. Did not plant veggies this year but will next year. It does sound as though your Tobacco is doing pretty damn good too.
If you were close I would take a ride over just to have a look!

Green fried tomatoes at the end of the season (or when there were just too many) was a crispy/tart treat when I was a kid -- And still is ! along with fried or grilled pork chops and fresh bread it is a meal to be reckoned with.

I think it's because of the deeper cups giving room for that first root growth. Look at these since the other day.View attachment 5469

Is this garden soil what you use in your cups? Your seedlings are looking great!

And don't forget the everglades seasoning.

Only when it rains hard with a lot of wind, but I've seen no sap.

Yes, I mix it in a large pickle barrel two cups garden soil to one cup jungle growth! the plants have almost doubled in size again. The stalks are about 3/8" round maybe more.

[workhorse_01]

Well I planted about 50 more in the ground today, and separated and transplanted about 50 more in to the cups that came available. Tomorrow I transplant the last 100 or so in to cups and should round out to about 500, so I went a little bigger than I thought. what a year so far. Now it's time to eat. check in later y'all

If you have not had okra that you like then you have not had it cooked right.

 

[workhorse_01]

I've had okra just about every way fried is the only way for me to eat it, and I still have to work at it.

 

[Boboro]

I can eat it pickeld but I ant crazy about it. If its slimey a ant touchen it.

Isn't okra an important part of gumbo? (Ask Jennifer dummy. LOL )

 

[deluxestogie]

When you use okra in gumbo, you cook it until it disappears--takes a few hours. Only the little seed spheres remain. It increases the viscosity of the broth. No sliminess at all.

Thanks. I thought I'd heard that but couldn't find it in the recipes I browsed.

 

[workhorse_01]

[workhorse_01]

I need to go out and spray some BT and Cyonara today but the rain is supposed to be back today (That blows) I'm just starting to get rid of the standing water!

 

[Knucklehead]

Our rain moved out yesterday. I'm going to spray today, that will give it two days to work before more rain Monday.
