In 2020 I made and jarred up some thick round bread-and-butter sweet #pickles that turned out... mushy.
They taste good, but the mouth feel is a problem. The ones I haven't eaten? I'm never gonna eat.
But before I throw them away...
Today I have the #dehydrator running to make some #okra #chips. The experiment: I'm gonna dehydrate these mushy pickles and make pickle chips. It's a no-cost low-effort last-ditch attempt to avoid both food hoarding behavior but also food waste.

I was wrong about my #okra plants. All these pods grew in a few days after I called the plants "unproductive" on social media.
Maybe they were listening.

Also, the #okra is being a bit stubborn. These are all okra plants, but do far I've gotten only a few small pods.

My first attempt at growing okra in Wales. What a beautiful okra flower! #okra #containergardening #urbangarden #growyourown #growyourownveg #garden #gardening #Wales #WelshValleys #Backtoourroots

This is an #okra #flower. The okra is a very impatient plant. If some insect doesn't pollinate this within the next several hours, it will pollinate itself. Either way, this flower will be dead by nightfall.

Waiting for my red beans and rice with sausage and #okra to simmer itself into that savory concoction that helps me hang on π
@Hellybootwader I am just at the very beginning of my journey of learning about perennial vegetables and growing in the UK. I am familiar with Jerusalem artichoke which I love but don't want to plant in the ground as they will overtake our garden. This year, concentrated on food from my culture which can grow in Wales but is not sold or if it is, it's expensive #mustardgreens #collardgreens #callaloo #okra #goatpepper

Misread "Team Orca" as "Team Okra" and for a fleeting moment I thought I'd found my people...
So I was out this morning, sitting on my patio, trying to get some good #bird photos. A Carolina #Wren flew right up to the patio, maybe 3 yards away from me, landed on one of my #okra plants, dropped a safflower seed from its mouth, and flew away.
I thought this was #odd behavior, so I went over to investigate.
Well, friends, what I learned when I tried to pick up that seed... It wasn't a safflower seed... and it hadn't come out of his mouth.
So that's my day. Hope yours is #better.

Iβm down to 1 okra seedling because something ate the leaves of the other. I really hope the upcoming hot weather leads to more germination. I want my okra!
#Today I saw 2 little okra seedlings just breaking through the soil in the little yogurt cups i use for seed starting. Another day or two and I can plant them in the raised bed. I also have a bunch more iβm waiting on. But this is a good sign. #gardening #UrbanGardening #ContainerGarden #okra

So it appears our experiment to grow Okra in the UK is bearing fruit.

It's the best time of the year, right now, for central #Arkansas. It's warm enough for #dragonflies, but not warm enough for #Cicadas.
Dragonflies at my house love to play King of the Stick, where they compete to land on the highest stick in the yard. Usually that's my #cucumber trellis, but right now it's a temporary post, set up for deer netting around my #okra.

The restaurant at Cave In Rock State Park in Illinois was surprisingly good. It's pure southern comfort food. I had fried catfish and fried okra with a roll and strawberry butter. It's definitely heart-attack food if you eat that way regularly. #CaveInRock #SouthernIllinois #FriedFood #Catfish #Okra #StatePark #Illinois #SouthernIllinois

When white people don't enjoy a food, like #okra, it's because it had to be eaten on a drunk dare...
I can't wait to plant our garden. This is a macro of the Okra flower. #Okra #gardening #gardener #Flower #macro #macrophotography #foto #fotografie
