Okay I just have to tell you a story I was such a awful kid 🤣🤣🤣 I hated cutting okra when I was young. Mama would send me out to cut it and I would get stung by the stalk, so I would cut the hardest ones and tell her it wasn't any good so I could quit 😔. When she would go check it. Later in the afternoon I would get into trouble by her😔 so I finally showed daddy how broke out I got from trying to cut it and he told mama to look at my arms she had a fit!!! She had never seen anyone brake out like that before. So from then on her and daddy cut the okra and I picked almost everything else I could. But yes I took many a hickery switch from my lies from not cutting okra🤣🤣🤣

When I was in my mid years I started a garden. The okra stalks got so tall it was hard to pick & I got the okra itch from picking. When I told my dad about it he told me when he grew okra & it got about hip high he would cut it back some. This would result in the okra growing bushy instead of so tall. If you decide to try this I'd do it on 1 or 2 to see if you like it.

I love okra gumbo. Mom would add a handful of shrimps and a piece of smoked sausage to it. I cook like mom did and my family just loves it. Thank you for sharing and God bless you and keep y’all safe.

Hello Lori. Thanks for the lessons you keep passing along to us. We do appreciate it. Be well.🥰

Thank you Miss Lori! 🙂 I love the chimes of your clock! ♡ My dad's family are German-Swiss. Grandma had a clock with a beautiful chime and the pendulum was a young girl on a swing.😍 That's a much more pleasant memory than that of my memories of okra.😉☺️ Love and blessings! 💜

My husband and I just put up 31 pre breaded quarts and are still picking okra at least one time a day. 😂. He finally bought a gallon of seafood breader and started tossing it in that. It’s really good 👍. We flash froze ours and vacuum sealed them in meal size portions. He preheats grease in a cast iron pan and puts frozen okra in there and cooks in the oven . Works great . I usually leave a few okra pods to dry on the stalk for next years seed. We grow Clemson spineless and red Jing . Both are great . I even snack on it raw. Of course I’m born and raised in SC so our blood runs slimey anyway😝.

Thank you for sharing your cooking videos and gardening videos. I too have old clock. Loved the sounds. Grandfather clock ⏰ I got mine for 20 dollar's 16 years ago. Heavy I say.

Ole my goodness. When I clicked on OAGs page and saw he had passed it brought tears to my eyes . I had no idea . I leaned how to can okra from him to . He was a tough young man to watch in his garden. Yes it’s been a while since I saw his videos. I have so many that comes to my feed to watch . I did see one where he and his lovely wife went to Deep South Homestead. But I was thinking that was this spring . I guess not . Life is short . I’m 64 and I know my clock is ticking faster to . And with the way things are going we might not have to die because we who believe and love the Lord Will meet him in the sky . I just looked back and he went to Deep South homestead 5 years ago . Dang looked like it was this year .lol

Love crunchy Deep Fried Okra! Can’t do the slimmy okra. Wish I had your Garden Spaces. Beautiful!

I've never even seen okra before so thanks.

I like Okra. Baked Okra is good as well.

Awesome timing, Miss Lori. I went to our Farmers Market here in east central Oklahoma, bought a bunch of okra and yellow crook neck squash and was wondering how to freeze it and all. Many of the farmers had okra today and my daughter and I were wondering why there was so much with the beastly hot and dry summer we've had this year and you explained it all😊. God's timing is spot on! 💙💙🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

I fixed fried okra tonight for dinner. Freshly picked yesterday at a local farm. I always use an iron skillet to fry my okra. Nothing better on a summer night than fried okra and fresh sliced tomatoes.

Was in Hardy and Batesville last week-end. Bought a lot of okra at a stand in Ash Flat. Came home to Independence. Fixed a pot of navy beans - lay the okra on top, steam it, salt and pepper it then slurp it down. I’m like Mr. Brown, love it slimy.

I love okra anyway it is prepared. Fried pickled cooked over peas in soup I just love it. Since I have been watching utube, it has surprised me at the country cooks who dont know how to cut okra or asparagus. They dont know that the hard okra or the tough part of asparagus is discarded.

Thank you so much for the freezer tips! Okra is on a roll here, and the summer squash is abundant. I'd never froze either of these before, but now I know what to do!

I love every one of your cooking videos and am inspired by many but I have to say, that I will never fix okra. It isn't a vegetable I grew up eating. I did try it twice, once in a gumbo. It was the WORST (second to asparagus), slimy and just nasty! It gives me the shivers and not in a good way! 😊 Right now I have a huge pot of green and yellow beans, fresh from the farmers market with a cut up onion and a huge ham hock simmering on the stove. Have a good day!

I love old clocks have one reminds me of my child hood. I told my mother several years ago, I was worried about my memory, she said don't, you've had a bad memory your whole life. She was right

Alabama Garden was a treasure.

When he retired he fixed it and brought it to me. I was so glad. That clock is over 50 years old and still running.

Fried okra reminds me of Ma❤️ Great tips. We’ll plant some next year.

My father-in-Law lived with for years until he died at 89. Him and I loved tomatoes and okra.

Awesome! Thanks!

we live in the midlands of SC where it's hot and the humidity hight. We are harvesting okra now what we're not cooking we freece in a pan then seal in a bag. I like okra cooked on green beans and fried. Hubby of 61 years save his own seeds.

I LOVE that sliced okra in the flour bag idea!!!

My mom and dad had one of those beautiful German chime clocks. Had to be careful to not wind it too tight. Funny when you live with it, you get to where you sleep right thru the chimes but when we had company, they would complain about being awake during the night with the noise! LOL we all love your chimes!❤ music in Oklahoma!

I just love your videos. I put up okra both ways like you do. My 74 year old husband still picks an acre of okra and takes to a whole selller. And we have 2 gardens just for us to put for us and our 2 girls. We have been having a year like y'all are having some of our garden has given us an overabundance of certain veggies and not so much potatoes and onions but The Lord has given us what we need . Back to the okra my husband plants and picks it because he loves it not because we need the money even tho ever bit counts I think the blooms are so beautiful to bad you can't pick it for for a bouquet but the blooms last maybe 12 hours if thaf . you have taught me so. Much and I have been putting things up or canning them since I was 12 years old. I hope y'all have a blessed day....

I can’t tell you how much I feel like I’m right there with you during your videos. You have restored my faith in cooking..I have a lot of practice to achieve tho. Thank y’all and God bless! Naomi
