  • This week on the allotment we are starting off the French beans. Cobra (green) and Violetto (purple). Plus some 50cm long ones called Bruno!
    We are making progress with the new Dahlia bed and 3 more dahlias go in: Chat Noir x2 in honour of Anekin and Halley, Bishop of Dover and Solze von Berlin.
    Its still asparagus picking time, the white sprouting broccoli is coming thick and fast and the Chard is starting to bolt.

    Okra are delicious! To get rid of the snot, chopped them and sumerge them in water with lemon or vinager, get rid of the water, do this 2 or 3 times. Somehow the acid gets rid of it.

    I grow okra (‘oak-ra’) every year in the southern US. It’s a tall, ornamental looking plant with large blooms. Keep the okra picked around finger length. It gets woody if you let it get too long, and it can be a heavy producer in my climate. It can be added to soups, gumbo, and dishes like that are good, but it really shines when fried or roasted… either rounds of sliced battered okra fried in oil… or made into okra “fries” by cutting in half lengthwise, tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper, then roasted in a hot oven. Serve with an aioli type dipping sauce. We also freeze bagfuls of battered okra rounds. They make a nice side dish to fish.

    Okra in the Midwest grows like crazy. You want to pick frequently and at a small size. The bigger they get they are very woody! Snot aside many people love them deep fried.

    This is my favorite video to watch every week. I'm in the US and I typically watch you after my lunch break on Tuesday while I'm working. Okra in the US is often sliced into circles and egg wash dipped, dipped in cornmeal and deep fried, it's also used as a pickle sometimes. These are both more of a southern US application (I'm in Chicago), but thought it might be helpful in avoiding the slimy sensation.

    What no one is saying about okra is that it requires hot weather and plenty of sunshine. It produces really fast once the temperature gets hot so check it EVERY day or you will miss harvesting them at the right time.

    Okra! Loves hot weather, is drought resistant, pick it small and use gloves. They are spiney. It's best battered and deep fried. The plants can attract ants occasionally. We loved growing it in Texas. It would be 5 feet tall some years. Clemson spineless is the standard variety here. Love the channel, bye!

    Yes, talking about that vegetable okra (lady finger) I did tried growing it last year I planted in the full ground but didn’t work and the seeds was very poor coming up too.. but this year I started the seeds inside the house and it all came out. This time I will grow in the pots and some in the full ground. But the seeds I brought it from my hometown and the seeds are very good too. Last week I started the seeds inside at the window and today I will bring it to my greenhouse. Yes, l love okra too but I boiled it without cutting and ate in Asian way. But you can slice it cook with garlic and onion in the pan or wok when almost done you can put eggs on the top like omelet..off course with oil or butter. Some countries they cooked as soup and they ate with cornmeal or cassava meal .( they putted vegetables, meat inside and very hot peppers) so hot you feeling your mouth burn 🔥 😂😂😂. This my experience when I was invited to have okra soup with cassavameal..out of politeness I ate it boy..heaven.😂😂😂but was delicious too.😊

    Here in my corner of the world (Texas) I’ve got cool weather and warm weather crops so I’m also stumped for space. Onions are slowly being harvested and that is it! I’ve got the heat lover crops sowed so I’ve got time before they go in (melons, squash, zinnias, eggplant, parsley and not to forget basil). Weather here has been cool and overcast with a few rainstorms thrown in. Once the sun pops out all hell will break loose as tomatoes and tomatillos have set fruit but not ripened. Okra grows great here as they love heat (they laugh at it) but most have tiny spines on the fruit and most grow like a Christmas tree (can get very tall and gangly).😮

    Jessie, I grew okra for the first time last year!! You need to be picking them when they are small because they get very woody if they get too big!! The flowers are absolutely beautiful!! The more you pick them the more you get!! The way I cook it is slice it in 1cm thick. Wash it really well bread it & put in my Airfryer in order to save calories with deep frying it in oil!! If you don’t have an airfryer put them in a backing tray in the oven!! I dip them in ranch dressing!! Yummy!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Yes. The bags of sylvagrow l bought were rather twiggy too. I was surprise. The bags of Good home peat free from B &Q are also a different consistency from usual. Much more fluffy. I don't like that very much but things seem to be growing OK in it. So far though anything l have planted even when really nice strong plants have been completely decimated by slugs. Multi sown spring onions planted and protected with fleece just disappeared completely.

    Hello Jess from across the pond in Austin Tx. !!
    Okra will be a challenge for you because it’s such a heat loving vegetable. It’s one of the main vegetables we can still grow when our summer temperatures rise above 35C. If you can spare a little space in your poly tunnel that would offer you the greatest chance at growing success. Okra doesn’t really start producing until temperatures are 80f or 25-26C. BTW..the key to “non-snotty” okra is cooking with a very small amount of water..water = snot. Favorite way to cook them is halved lengthwise and grilled with olive oil, salt n pepper.
    Cheers !

    Okra! Yay! This Texan approves. I grow it every year. Loves the heat. But the only way I’ll eat it is battered with corn meal and fried. So good. If it works there for you, you’ll want to pick it every day once it starts producing. It’ll be 2” long one day and 6” the next. Pick it young as it’ll get really woody (and fairly inedible) quick. Good luck!

    Okra is a vertical stalk and the okra will shoot off the stalk off the sides. Okra varieties that doesn't become slimy when cooked also there's ways to cook it that reduces the slime. In Louisiana many of us that cook Gumbo and use okra in the gumbo (soup/stew), we will lightly cover the sliced okra in seasoned flour and lightly fry them to a off white to light golden brown and drain. Don't over flour or bread and don't over fry the okra. After draining as much oil off the okra add them to your gumbo or stock and that should knock out the slime. Okra is the one of the last items you add to your gumbo or stock or sauce and much of the breading will come off in to gumbo or stock unless you heavily bread or flour them. If you like a contrast in your gumbo then go heavy on flour and fring which makes them crunchy even in a soup.

    Soil must be really warm for okra. They do not like it chilly.

    Hello, have you considered getting some brackets and shelves for the greenhouse? I know it's an outlay, but you really need that extra space for the seedlings. Nice video, thanks. X

    I have tried to grow okra for the past couple of years with seeds from kings…one verify definitely grows better than the other but never had more than one at a time which is a shame as okra fries are delicious and it's a lot of effort with one “okri”😂Will be interested to see how yours work. Thank so much for your videos, always a pleasure 😁

    I hate okra it is like eating a runny nose 😂 very big in my culture, Jamaicans eat it in stews. I used to cry as a kid when I had to eat it

    I soak my okra seeds 12 to 24 hours before direct sowng in ground / sowing.What floats is most likely not good.And what sinks to the bottom is good.There is suppose to be a less slimy version of okra knocking about.I dont mind the slimy mess lol .Im in the south of the USA and MOST of us love it cooked anyway.I have planted a zillion seeds and plants in my garden and flower bed.They have the most beautiful flowers. Yet pick while small because the huge ones are woody.

    Sorry I asked you what compost you were using because the bags you brought in on the wheelbarrow looked like something else.
    Also the sylvagrow I used for roottrainers the other day had too many stick bits to use it in them! Also you don’t push the compost down like I do, so I learn so much for watching you. Thanks
