okras growing

We sprinkled few okra seeds late june to test how they come out. Within 30-40 days, okras started growing. Next year I am looking forward to make sure I will grow more plants in the composted bed. I cann't wait to use the growing ones in my Sambar.

Edible or not?????

I bought this plant while looking for Thai pepper and after coming home read the label closely and found that the new plant I got is Ornamental Thai pepper. I did some research and couldn't get to a conclusion if ornamental peppers are edible or not. Some say they are not edible and are for purely ornamental purpose and some say they are not recommended to eat as they are too hot.
