Re: seeds this year

Just a little anecdote:

When I was a child I lived in Tennessee ('64-'69) in a very poor
community.  One of the dishes they served at the school lunchroom was
okra baked in a large flat pan with breadcrumbs on top.  It was the most
mucilaginous, nasty-looking stuff you can imagine.

I have been to Asia and eaten things that you would not imagine were
edible (but no family pets, thank goodness) but okra is the one (and
only) vegetable that I am unable to consider edible.
