You have such a beautiful garden! I live in N Phoenix and started container gardening about 4 years ago and I must admit the struggle has been real!!! I was so happy to find someone who understands the unique problems we face here like excessive heat, abnormal seasons, varieties and planting times vs the rest of the U.S. so thank you. Your garden is so lush and green, would love to have one like that but don't think I am ready for the water bill lol.

Easy to grow, drought tolerant and …… delicious. Oh Angela, we agree on 2 out of 3. 🙂 That was before this video. You (grandmas are always spot on) have opened our eyes and we will give it another try. We grew it this summer and are amazed of how it thrives in the heat. So, we have the front end covered and just need to tighten up on the harvest and cooking. Thanks for the tips. Never thought to trim it back. Can’t wait for the heat of next summer and eating fresh okra. Hold on, did I just say that?? Thanks!

I'm in Tennessee - zone 6b/7a. This is my first year growing Okra and I've good luck, at least I think so for my first year, especially since the deer went through and 'pruned' for me. Thankfully the plants regrew. It's so fun to go out and pick the Okra. Have to remember not to let them get too big, though. I did that with the first picking. WOW - wish I'd known about Okra water then, however now I do and will definitely use it. Okra iced tea on a hot summer's day. I'm thinking about using that with my Lemon Balm and/or other herbs for a green drink. This morning, I added it with some cherry tomatoes from my garden in with my scrambled eggs - YUM. Love your videos! They're always full of great information.

I LOVE okra!! My grandmother taught me how to cook it in bacon grease, flour and cornmeal. Soooo, delicious! Then she instructed me on how to grow and when to harvest, otherwise too long and they will be tough!😊

I started growing okra this spring on your suggestion! so far I've only harvested 2 pods. the first one was pretty tasty raw & i can imagine it'd be delicious fried! i think i let the second one get too big cuz it was not as pleasant raw & a lot slimier, next time I'll try making okra water! Can't wait until I get enough to fry them up.

When I grow okra, my grandchildren love to just eat it off the plant. I prefer to pickle it. I use the pickled okra recipe in the Ball Canning Book. I also love to do a dilly fermentation.

Thanks. I plan to try growing okra next year. This summer, Egyptian spinach from the okra family, was the star of my Phoenix area garden. It has a much milder taste than Malabar spinach that I also grow during the summer here.

I'm growing Egyptian spinach right now too. I didn't realize they were in the same family. The plants have taken off!

Ok good video, but you should rinse okra before cutting it not after the cutting because the slimeness has more health benefits like preventing from leg bone marrow depreciation. So don't rinse after cutting okra. And we used to eat 2 - 5 no's okra in a week even without cooking it because to get that slimeness benefits fully🇮🇳. This is one of my favourite vegetables😋👍🏻

Feels so wrong and unfair to be clubbed with your beautiful warm weather. I'm in zone 8 too, but in the Pacific Northwest. We had a total of 3 days above 80F and 1 night that stayed above 60F this "summer." Yet, we hope, we believe, we garden here ...and check out okra growing tips! 😅

Solarizing can help. Another option is to till every couple of days for a week or two to expose them to the sun. Then more or less start over with the soil. (Add fresh compost and castings and perlite or vermiculite and plant a quick cover crop)

I've had no luck growing okra the last couple of years :( . I'm in the SF bay area (zone 10a); could it be that I'm just not getting hot enough temps for long enough for the okra to thrive? I also don't know what variety I have (the packet just says "okra" and nothing else); could trying with a different variety be the key?
