October Okra

Fried okra. One of my favorite side dishes. Don't like it in my gumbo, though. Sacrilege. Worse than tomatoes in chili. Took a lot of watering to keep the plants alive through the hottest midsummer days but it was worth it. And with freezing weather still weeks away there will be more to harvest within a few more days to add to the almost full bag in the freezer.
