I like to slice and dredge them in egg and corn meal and fry them in oil until crispy. Simply season with a little salt and pepper out of the oil. Pair them with sliced tomatoes--it doesn&#39;t get much better to me. How does everyone else like okra?<br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/260c4d72ba74fda45b3568a3fe792cec1bc2a069629ecb1160e47b112f46c8aa.jpg"> <br/>#gardening #homestead #okra #friedokra 2023-06-17T12:52:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgpgly63rhu03atwceyl7dq8mchysqjm4r85jvlq77jnsgsrjvr8czyzj2zdjy8rumcyjq66ln84pg2muu79hxxqgw877v2977vdyv4dzaqstrcp0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxj8c35gvsm3ke90uzxqyjlhl0hej4wjph7z7tkpv36zf4gxmk43c8q39sq'>nevent1q…39sq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How are your Pekin ducks? We have two this year and they are such a gentle and easy bird. We love to watch them waddle around. 2023-06-17T02:06:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvxd0zuu0n86nfu2s05nn9rtn05gwhdryrw4smzwk993kzyt5mg7gzyzj2zdjy8rumcyjq66ln84pg2muu79hxxqgw877v2977vdyv4dzaqaet6cx We&#39;ve trained our new quackheads to go into the house at night so they dont get eaten by the racoons and coyotes. We have only 2 out of nearly 20 ducks that we released on our pond last year that didn&#39;t get eaten. We didn&#39;t train them, but they have been able to outsmart their predators.<br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/407899d2d4210b76099f9c7388295ab485f557fb8d254de9804314364a8761bd.jpg"> <br/><br/>#grownostr #homestead #ducks #quackheads #lessonlearned 2023-06-17T02:00:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyv8ys4ps6g7e6q2vsupd0p5xkkdj46mvpp3tu62ln7yyky8ke3hgzyzj2zdjy8rumcyjq66ln84pg2muu79hxxqgw877v2977vdyv4dzaqdj0rzz Day 51: #grownostr initiative<br/><br/>We are getting close to being able to harvest something from the garden.<br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/e62eb50eb754e64a89bc5197ac59db6ae43606ad73f91135d3d7d0f4d957b821.jpg"> <br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/a2d6a02de76572ff461087ded9c1ab8e954ac37f9e5b8836f4812873d62a0bc5.jpg"> <br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/481cbf68b23a040fc452cc697c8795f2fd1507cea2f0c08c98c7a7e3b062f212.jpg"> <br/>#gardening #homesteading 2023-06-01T15:05:44Z
