Okra Leaves!

Today was the last day of harvesting okra for us in zone 7a before pulling out the okra plant to make way for planting garlic.

And… before doing that we harvested okra leaves for cooking. We sautéed them with onions in garlic butter then added potatoes and broth for a creamy potato soup with chopped okra greens.

What are your cooking with your okra or okra leaves?



Wishing you great gardens and happy harvests!
