Yuk hate Okra but dont mind hearing how they grow. lol

[clairesallotment]

@sadia102 I don't know if I've ever tasted it. Looks interesting, so I thought I'd grow it. I'll let you know how they taste.

Here in Portugal call "quiabo" instead of "okra".

I personaly use them to give some more taste and to thicken the sauce, in mine opinion it results very well.

Thanks for sharing!!!

[clairesallotment]

@trivial45 Never knew you called them quiabo. I'll have to use them in a sauce.

@clairesallotment good!!

@trivial45 I've done one about brussel sprouts, it's number 36. This covers cauliflowers, brussels and calabrese. I have got something across between brussels and kale, which I'll be filming this week.

@clairesallotment To grow your list of new veg to start this or in the next year I suggest brussels sprouts, that I think you haven´t shown here.

[clairesallotment]

@richardpeej Leave until next year. Is a bit late now to start them off. I've started to write a list for next year already, I've got 3 new veg on there already.

[clairesallotment]

@praterclp I'll do an update when they are big enough for the next stage. Don't know when that'll be. The weather isn't helping them grow at the moment, it's still too cold.

Thanks for showing us all how to plant Okra Claire. I think I am a bit too late for trying them this year so maybe I will add them to my list for planting next year, Thanks for sharing your experience with these plants and especially of your memories of your mother growing them :-) Richard
