I grow it from seeds a woman has grown for more than 20 years in her garden. It is like a giant okra and is good to eat.

I didn't see this option mentioned anywhere in this post. Here's a link to this most delicious option. http://mystolenrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/01/basic-baked-okra.html Great Blog Kenny!

I prefer growing okra in the garden if possible because it's good to have at least a dozen plants to get a useful yield and harvest enough okra pods at one time to use in the kitchen.

It was INCREDIBLE! The woman selling it offered me a sample and I was hooked. I even wound up using the leftover juice in martinis. I didn't realize okra was possible in NE Pennsylvania, now I'm already moving things around on my garden plan for this year to try to fit it--is okra possible in a container, maybe one of the shorter plants (maybe Jade variety)? This site gets better every time I visit it. Thank you! Hi Kenny,

Does anyone know the name. The man who gave us the seeds said his family had planted and saved these seeds for over 50 years and he did not know what it was called. We planted it along with our regular okra - hope it does not cross pollinate. We love okra. We currently have over 30 bags in the freeze to carry us through the winter.
