Hey, it was my birthday a few weeks ago.... would anyone like to send me some pickled okra???

I found out my brother has grown okra in the past. I never knew. He said if I wanted to grow it, I would have to start the seeds inside like at the end of February. Yikes - I don't know if I would be able to keep them alive indoors.

I am so hungry for this stuff now. You guys are killing me......

Okra Pickles are in the section with Regular Pickles

Oh, it's way more than a plant! You eat the little veggies that grow on the plant and they are very good. Seems like you either hate them or love them.
