16 Crops You Should Plant In June ASAP

Every June I cut some suckers off my favorite tomatoes and I root them in water. These become my fall tomatoes, lasting until frost or early December.

Thanks for repping zone 6!!! Shoutout to all zone 6 growers out there. 🎉

Okra: split in half, toss in oil and salt/pepper, roast it in the oven until golden brown and crispy. Or air fry for faster and crisper okra fries. And you can dehydrate them for some okra chips

I love video from the future!! I can prepare ahead because of this video! :D

My favourite method of cooking okra is a simple Okra and potato fry with fenugreek seeds, turmeric powder, salt and red chilli powder. The easiest way to lower oil requirement and have less mucus from the okra is drying the pods completely before cutting. Cut with a dry knife on a dry cutting board. Water = mucusy hell

23:22 I went "Cardamom?" Right as she said "Yes, Cardamom

It's been 85-90 all week in Minnesota. It may as well be July as far as we can tell.

Trinidad okra rice... sliced okra, bell pepper, onion, garlic, thyme, tomato paste or ketchup, coconut milk and rice....season to your taste....that's nice!

Scott, i was pretty sure you were going to mention one of the two watermelon varieties I am able to easily grow here in the Far NW, PNW! I will admit that the variety of cantaloupe you mentioned seems like a smart choice for those that enjoy that type of melon.

As someone who lives in a town with okra on its sign I feel obligated to weigh in. While deep frying makes a great snack, you can lightly oil and season it for roasting or dry it. My favorite way is to chop it up with tomatoes, let it stew. toss in some roasted corn and cajun seasoning. serve on some rice.

My garden here in zone 8a North Carolina is amazing and everything is thriving my garden and my exotics and newly planted native plants

Also try cutting okra in half length wise and roasting on a sheet pan face down until the cut side gets a bit brown and is mostly crunchy throughout. The tips might burn, but omg is it delicious. Needs very little oil, if any. Since okra doesn't store well in the fridge, this is a good way to use up if you don't have enough for a meal. Though... I could easily eat about 30 cooked this way as a snack.

Stir fry okra with a a spritz of oil and a sliced green tomato. The tomato helps limit sliminess. Cajun seasoning or just garlic salt.

Hey Kevin, you can try preparing bhindi sabzi with the okra and you can have it with whole wheat tortillas/rotis. It is delicious

Heya Kevin, okra is wonderful pickled, especially with cherry tomatoes, pearl onions, and a single cayenne pepper, absolutely delicious. It's also fantastic coated in cornmeal and baked.

The main reason I started growing okra was to make hot pickled okra. 😋. However, I especially love a recipe for succotash I found online. It has okra, tomatoes, corn, lima beans, and bacon. It is absolutely delicious!!!

I tuned in just in time!

Love okra! Hoping for a big harvest this year. I prefer them cooked whole, hard seared, roasted, or stir fried. Lots of Cajun spices and char. I also want to try with tomatoes, classic. I don’t eat fried food, but I do love me some okra. And they freeze beautifully for me, no blanching! Thanks for the tip about removing leaves, never heard that one. I’m trying four varieties this year.

I love fried okra but, I specially prefer steamed/boiled okra then dipped into some soy sauce/patis and calamansi juice 😋

:50 One of my favorite okra recipes is lacto-fermentation. I basically just treat them like I would a lacto-fermented cucumber, only when you pack them in the jar you don't want to cut the recepticle or tip off the pods since that lets the mucilage out into the brine. Instead, just cut off the pedicel portion and leave the floral receptacle on. It's a week to ten day fermentation most of the time, but you can go longer if you want. I prefer them a bit firmer, personally.
