How to Save Okra Seed - Harvesting and Cooking Okra 

Repatriated to the South after 40 years in California where the earth is rich, I enjoyed many garden volcano plants that just erupted from the ground running into giant healty growth, but not much from okra there. Here in upstate SC, I enjoy okra, one of the many veggies I like because they love my climate and [amended] clay soil, but also because they direct sow so successfully. I've started many a tomato seed I saved from the year before, and like you love Brandywine tomatoes..and Cherokee Purple and Genovese Costoluto, all that have affinity with okra. I brown onions and garlic and add sliced okra then tomatoes and squeeze of lemon juice and salt and a few dashes of tobasco just for slight piquancy and let these all get well acquainted for 20 mins or so [to cook off the viscosity], checking occasionally to make sure the dish has some liquid looseness to it, adding a little water to maintain so as you simmer, and serve over medium grain rice. MMM. Also okra pickles are wonderful.

Thank you for your videos. I look forward to your videos each week. The time you put into your editing and filming is appreciated. I am growing 12 okra plants in Oregon this year. These videos have helped me see what will happen this summer and ways that I can enjoy it. Keep following your intuitive nature. The calm atmosphere you create really makes each video a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you again.

as usual your informationn is accurate and much appreciated. i'll have to try this okra recipe i've never cooked it that way before. i usually make whats called okra & tomatoes its pretty common here in the south where i live. its basically stewed okra and tomatoes, this looks like a twist on that pairing but fresher and quicker to prepare. thanks for the video its truly appreciated.

Planted 6 okra seeds and they all germinated. Can't wait to plant in my garden this year

Wow I don't even like okra but you are such an artist appeal to visual aesthetics, true artist.

That simple recipe looks delicious. I'll have to try it with my harvest this summer. Thanks for this video and recipe. These are my favorite types of videos, harvest to table.

Yummmm...😊 I love okra pickled, so this is interesting. I just found your channel and am a new subscriber. I like how you take it from harvest to table and preparing for next season. So complete. Thank you. 😊

Hi I have been watching your channel for several months. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the information you provide and the way you present the information. It is a work of art and poetry. It is so well put together, no doubt you put a great amount of time, energy and your spirit into it. Much love prosperity and thanks to you! 💚🍀🌼🌻🌱🌿

Been saving my okra seeds for years now. Great food, loves the summer heat.Thanks for featuring this lovely food in your channel. The flowers themselves are just gorgeous. They are great in the morning after picking, just fry them up till they are tender, then add some beaten eggs for a healthy scramble egg. Obviously you can also add any breakfast meats you like as well. It is best not to bag those seed pods in a plastic zip lock bag. There is still plenty of moisture in them even when you let them dry on the stalk. Just save the seeds themselves or that "husk" will cause a bluish green mold to take over your collection of seeds. A breathable bag would be better if you are going to leave them in the husk. Great tips, great video as usual!

the harmony of this song is perfect

Well done video

I love small pod okra raw, it’s hardly slimy 😁 I saved seeds from the garden where I used to work and we planted some 🙏💐 they’re about 3 inches high now here in San Antonio, Tx.

I love your videos, so soothing and relaxing to watch, love the music too, what song is @4:25? I just sowed some okra seeds a few days ago and really looking forward to see them germinate, will definitely try your recipe. Thank you!

Really great. I'm growing okra for the first time this year and they're just starting to produce consistently. Most people I talk to batter and fry them but my favourite way is to just pan sear them.

Add a little bit of turmeric powder to it as well. It's the most most common dish here in india( the one that you prepared). It's eaten with chapati or rice

We usually steam okra, sprinkle salt and eat it, some like to dip in soy sauce and vinegar...I'm from Philippines...we can have okra the whole year...

Cool

I love okra raw thinly sliced with soy sauce and wasabi.

Oh that looks yummy! Great recipe.

Hi Siloe. I've never gardened in my life but I saw it on other channels and it made me think of your groundhog problem. What about making a very tall raised bed out of material that's used for roofs, aluzinc galvanised steel? It's rust resistant and you can make the bed hip or weist tall, so that it's more comfortable to reach for you BUT groundhogs can't reach it. You can also make them look pretty and match your house. The bottom of the beds can be filled with wood waste

I recently found out you can eat hosta leaves and when I tried them they actually taste really good.

Perfect. Thanks

Caramelised onions go well with okra !!!

brother...this is exactly how we eat our okra in India...but we use bread instead of tomatoes :)

U R A Great Artist 👍🙏👋

you can eat the flowers too

I suddenly need okra seeds...

Unfortunately I have harvested large Okra's and realised they have hardened up. Will it be worth to dry the Okra to get seeds or not?

❤❤

I prefer to bread and fry my okra in cornmeal

Overripe okra pickles?

Hey Sileo are you a vegan? If you are a vegan, how long have you been a vegan?

I love your videos, but your songs....

You need to research the Barbary Pirates and you may have a different view on the slave trade and find out some history that isn’t talked about.
