Wow! I had no idea okra alleviates asthma! But I guess that makes sense being lung friendly with the mucilaginous properties. I haven't grown okra for a few years now and I miss it. I am definitely going to grow it this year!! Your photos are really beautiful. Btw, what did you mean about the flowers?
Hi! Forgive me if I'm being intrusive, but @homesteaderscoop is on the list to possibly win 20k delegation for a year from @theycallmedan.
