Another salad night…

It isn't difficult at all. The struggle is finding where it loves. Okra loves a lot of sunlight. It's not fussy if you are a bit lazy with watering. My struggle is that I don't have any "full sun" in my yard. The best I get is 8 hours or so, which okra wants more like 12 hours. Therefore, my okra will often just produce one pod every day or so. It's only two of us, so I will plant about 10 plants. This year's okra were grown from seed. It's from Burpee and is named Baby Bubba Okra. It seems to be thriving really well after a rough start where it was nearly grazed to the ground. I think I will plant this variety again next year.
I love okra and even grew it twice in a flower bed in the front yard. The flowers look like hibiscus and many people stopped to praise my hibiscus that year.

Excellent explanation, Kathleen! I don't have more than 8 hours of direct sunlight, and I don't have room for more thank a couple of plants. But I might try them next year. Started from seed, huh? Might be a good project!
Thank you!

Today I'll be having a leftover roast beef sandwich on a Keto bun with mayo and onion (thanks, Lee). .. with Birds Eye crispy air fried green beans.

The plan is to grill Hemplers hotdogs with beans on the side.

I'll bite. What's a Portuguese stuffing?

I want some!
Stuffies, stuffies, Kathy! LOL!
They are stuffed quohogs with chourico added. I will be using a version of this https://netcookingtalk.com/forums/threads/stuffies-stuffed-quahogs.25946/ and this https://www.sizzlingeats.com/portuguese-stuffed-quahogs/
Again, I did not buy live quohogs - I picked up the huge shells from the beach and ran them through the dishwasher. I will use 3 cans of chopped (not minced) clams and Italian bread (I don't care for Portuguese sweet bread).
Hope I'll have enough filling to fill four monster clam shells. Plan to serve with a cup of delicious storebought clam chowder to which I will add yet another can of chopped clams.

Clam chowdah?
That's my plan with Caesar salad tomorrow for dinner.
You and I are often on the same page, Lora! That's one of my favorite combos!
Lee
Yum!
