I would not have thought your window of opportunity for okra was that short. You might try your farmer’s markets. I live in the country in TN no I am not a hill billy, but when you grow okra it will produce as long as you keep it cut. A secret my mother-in-law told me if you put a little buttermilk, cream, or can milk
on your okra before you toss it in corn meal it will cling better.

Being from the South, okra was a constant on our menu…stewed with onions and fresh tomatoes, or everyone’s favorite, fried. I haven’t tried it yet, but one recipe called for fine crushed saltine crackers to dredge the okra in before frying (instead of the normal cornmeal). It’s getting harder and harder to find fresh okra…but I did see some frozen breaded okra in the frozen food section at grocery store – probably not as good as fresh, but might do.

I love it, I love it! I am not from the south, but I think I must have been in another life. I adore fried okra. I, too, waited and waited, and I scooped them up a week ago at the market. Now I need to see if I can’t find more because I want this.

Remember when Mr. Kelly would bring okra to church to share, but he believed you should let it grow until it was REALLY big, because to harvest it when it was small was wasteful? The only problem was that then it was too tough to eat.
