I think I may have only tried Okra once, SRS. It can be grown here but isn't the easiest and I guess benefits from your heat/climate. I love bhindi bhaji.

On other things sort of raised but this is with the living, I'm looking at a financial thing here.I think we are at a point where power of attorney is needed for dad and that I should be one of the attorneys. He agrees but having the authority with a parent when settled doesn't feel easy. Life gets beyond tee-jus don't it?
