Fresh picked from the garden today! Tomatoes, okra, and peppers!
There is nothing like some fresh veggies for dinner! I only have about eight okra plants so I’ll dice up a little green tomato to go along with it. Actually the rain knocked off a tomato that was not quite ripe but no longer green, so I’ll try using that one instead.
I even have a little onion that I’ll add along to spice things up a little bit!
Ok, now I’m hungry! Off to cook!
Wow! So jealous of your warmer climate right now. I can almost taste those tomatoes. Enjoy!!
Thanks! Some of my family are in NY, and they can’t believe we already have tomatoes and cucumbers…then again we planted most of the garden in March too. Thanks for visiting!
I love okra and have thought about growing it myself. What kind of climate do you need? And how do you use the okra? (The only thing I’ve ever made with it is curry but it would be good to try other things, too.)
A warm or mild climate will do good, and since we are in Alabama I might be able to get several batches before it gets too cold. I dice mine up, coat with cornmeal and brown them in a skillet with a little oil (not too much or they get soggy). It’s good in gumbo too. http://gardening.about.com/od/vegetables/p/Okra.htm and here’s how we like to cook them: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fried-okra/ Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for the links! I will give okra a go next year and try the recipe(s).
