Ladies' finger, organic cultivation at home

 

My 100th post...!😊

This is my second post about Okra / Bhindi / Vendakkai / Ladies finger cultivation at home organically.

This variety is different from what I have cultivated before. This is giant sized elephant tusk shaped ladies finger popularly known as 'Anakkomban Venda', in Malayalam, our local language.
I ate the ones plucked today raw! Yummy!

Congratulations! 100 posts - that's amazing!
I have never eaten okra either, but your plants look beautiful and I'm sure it's delicious. I had no idea it's edible when it's raw :)

Rajiv, Thank you SO much for your amazing comment on my post about gratitude! Your words and insight are so very much appreciated! I'm very happy I am on a path to figuring out happiness for myself and the wonderful blogging community is a tremendous help.
Bullying is a no-go in my presence because I know what it feels like!
So no worries, I would always try to step in or step up.

I hope you are having a fabulous Monday and a wonderful start into a new week!

Beate, you are positive; your words are positive. Bullying is a menace; it undermines confidence, erodes self esteem and hinders progress.
Thank you.

Amazing, organic okra.
It is so tasty.
For two years I try to plant it in the garden.
Unfortunately, we never grow.
Greetings.

Thank you.

Is it weird to say it looks like a snake?!

Happy 100th post. I love okra.

The picture was taken using my mobile phone. The dimensions does not look proportionate. It has more length than the normal variety of Okra.
Thank you :)
