"Okra (also known as gumbo), is a tall-growing, warm-season, annual vegetable from the same family as hollyhock, rose of Sharon and hibiscus. The immature pods are used for soups, canning and stews or as a fried or boiled vegetable. The hibiscus like flowers and upright plant (3 to 6 feet or more in height) have ornamental value for backyard gardens." [/QUOTE]Oh great...now I am hungry for okra...thanks soooo much [img]tongue.gif[/img] , it is a southern tradition to fry it...never boil it it becomes slimey and running
