Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

I am Planting Ampalaya and Okra Again This Year

My Ampalaya Last Summer

This year I ordered a purple (red) okra seeds on line. I have still seeds from my regular okra( green) that I saved last summer. Red Okra is an example of an edible ornamental.


If this is your first time to grow ampalaya read this site. Have Fun Gardening:

How To Grow Okra From Seeds
 
This year I plan on planting the Red Okra Variety. I have ordered seeds from Beyond Organic Seeds.
 
My First Okra Harvest Last Year- Must be harvested young and crunchy. My simplest recipe is just sauteed in olive oil the slice okra with onions, and shrimp paste with a trace of vinegar. 
  
What does red burgundy okra taste like?
Red okra are torpedo shaped and two to five inches long. Offering a unique flavor and texture, the fresh taste is somewhere between eggplant and asparagus. When cooked, however, the red color disappears and the pods turn green.

Here are my favorite recipes for ampalaya and Okra.
