Chinese Okra

[GrannyG]

Down at the local feed store, they had a HUGE OKRA POD...I mean big and thick....they said it was a Chinese okra, grows on a vine, said to not let them get too big, cut off the ridges, and fry or cook like a regular okra plant..then they cut it open and gave us a handful of seeds to try this year...looking forward to planting those babies ! I have never seen okra that size, half my arm long and thick...
