Well, I think that my okra had gotten as big as it was going to...don't ask me why I think it...I just did! I measured the outside curve to be 10 inches, and the inside curve 9 inches, so will go with 9.5! I am now hoping to keep these plants going until the South Florida Fair gets here so I can enter a huge okra in the vegetable growing contest! I think this must be Cowhorn okra with the size and the way it curves. It is also called Steer horn okra. I will be saving some seeds. I sure hope this one hasn't gotten so big as to turn woody and inedible...if it has, I will pull the others off at around 7 inches and see how they are. It's all just one big experiment...but from the looks of it, it is a success! Yippeeeee!!!!! Now where did I put all my okra recipes.....

This is a huge okra. I just read on another blog about a lady making a wreath with okra pods. If you get tired of eating them you could make a wreath.
Glad your ocras have survived the bugs and are healthy and big again!
I like this picture Julie! The colors the composition.... fabulous!
Holy Moses! I've never seen such a thing. jan

Gross, gross, gross! I hate okra!! My husband grows it and he and a couple of our kids eat it....yuck, yuck, yuck!!
Wow, Julie! You might want to call it "Orca Okra." It's a whale of a pod.
Ah! What a gigantic okra! It is one of our favourite dishes and it is called as ladies finger outside USA!
