#Abelmoschus

[botaniqueer]

It’s February! Time to start my sowing fever! Here are various seedlings currently living in my home with me so far.

- Claytonia rubra

- Carolina Reaper pepper

- Hopniss/Groundnut (Apios americana), an edible tuberous legume native to Turtle Island and traditional indigenous food source.

- White sage (Salvia apiana). Hopefully I won’t kill this guy since the plan is for it to act as a free source of sage for Indigenous folks who use this species.

- Yuzu! (Citrus X junos) I don’t expect this to fruit any time soon (or possible ever since seed grown fruit trees are capricious) but the leaves are very fragrant and can be used as a a culinary herb or potpourri. To me it smells a little like fruit cereal.

- Sunset hibiscus (Abelmoschus manihot), a sister species to okra used for leafy greens.

- Agave paryii???

A simple and plain looking Brunch sans all the sauces. Stir-fried okra or ladies' fingers, steamed egg custard and I think fried fish nuggets with plain white rice. Okra became too fibrous if left to mature so the younger the better.

Why is Okra red in shinigami eyes?

Plants can be transphobic confirmed?

"Okra had reached the Americas by 1658, when its existence was first recorded in Brazil" is one of those claims that everyone loves to repeat everywhere, from Wikipedia to accredited universities' agriculture divisions (such as U of Arkansas and U of Texas)--

--but no one wants to tell you where the fuck they got this information from.

because apparently I have to do everything myself, I have solved the mystery using nothing more than this information. the reference is in a Latin text by Dutch naturalist Willem Piso (Gulielmi Pisonis medici Amstelædamensis De Indiæ utriusque re naturali et medica libri quatuordecim, quorum contenta pagina sequens exhibet. Amsterdam: 1658. pp. 209-11)

the text contains descriptions and illustrations of two plants called "quigambo" which I believe, from their described properties and distributions, to be muskmallow (Hibiscus abelmoschus L.) and something resembling modern burgundy okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)*; he says that the latter exists in Brazil. (the no-longer-current "Hibiscus esculentus" wouldn't be used for okra until 1753).

*tbh it sort of sounds like Abelmoschus caillei (red stem and red veins on underside of leaves; very over-sweet when mature), but there is no record of that outside of Africa...

Jerry meets up with a guerrilla gardening group taking over empty public spaces to grow food for those that need it, sharing growing skills to increase community resilience. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe

Over the pandemic lockdowns, many of us were alarmed by images of empty supermarket shelves and supply shortages. Rather than running out and hoarding toot-roll, a group of young people saw it as an opportunity to provide for the vulnerable in their community and rethink how public space was being used.

Al Wicks says they’d “always had the pipe-dream of doing community gardens…over covid me and my friends started getting worried about food security for vulnerable people in the community”.

One of these friends was Ruby Thorburn, who says “there was an overwhelming sense of fear, seeing these empty supermarkets. We wanted to produce food overnight…to avoid red tape and bureaucracy and use direct action”.

In response, they formed “Growing Forward”, a community organisation dedicated to setting up guerrilla community gardens in underutilised public space. We’re visiting a site they’ve successfully converted from forgotten space to thriving community gardens with a purpose.

What started out with a bit of rule bending, has now garnered support of the whole community – including the council.

“We looked around and found a plot of land that was owned by the state government, but had been abandoned for over 90 years. Our neighbour works in council and looked into contamination reports that had been done on the soil and found it was good” says Ruby.

Leaning on Ruby’s permaculture background, they conducted a site assessment and identified a tap for water supply and a promising full-sun aspect. “The goal was community food resilience, and to get people thinking differently about food”.

After speaking with local indigenous elders to gain their permission to use the land, the group studied successful guerrilla community gardens to try to replicate what factors had made them work.

The first was wide community consultation. Every house in the surrounding area to the proposed garden was repeatedly doorknocked, to canvas any issues or concerns with establishing the garden- and identify anyone who was willing to help. Flyers were also distributed.

The next was rapid implementation. “Our goal was to set it up in 2 days, to skip the uncertain period where people are not sure what’s going on” says Ruby. “We just went ahead and did it” says Al.

“We brought in about 20 m2 of soil, and spent our personal money on it” says Al. “It took about a day to get it all in, there was a lot of community support”. While a lot of elbow grease went into the set-up, there’s no permanent infrastructure, which helps avoid the ire of bureaucrats

The first garden is at West End, in inner-south Brisbane, and it’s been a total success. Occupying around ¼ acre, it’s ringed by edible native plants with mounded beds of vegetables inside.

Everything grown goes back into the community to feed those who need it most. “The founding principles were doing free work for the community, and the produce is free”. “We have signs saying this food is going to vulnerable people, and it seems to work”.

At West End the produce goes to refugees living in the community, so Al and Ruby asked the refugee community organisation what they would like to eat. Accordingly, the fare is a little more diverse than what’s on offer at the shops, with sweet potato, okra, cassava, elephant foot yams and papaya thriving. It’s also become a place for meetings and picnics.

The approach has been a big success, regularly supplying food to community organisations and those most vulnerable, as well as building local connections. The program has expanded.

Featured Plants:

PAW PAW - Carica papaya cv.

SWEET POTATO - Ipomoea batatas cv.

CHILLI - Capsicum cv.

PUMPKIN ‘JAP’ - Cucurbita maxima cv.

OKRA - Abelmoschus esculentus cv.

Okra health benefits

Hindi: bhindee, bandakai, dheras, vendakai South East Asia: okra plant, okoro, ochro, quimgombo, gombo, quingumbo, kopi, kacang bendi, arab, bhindi It was originated in Ethiopia and was propagated by 12th century BC in North Africa, Arabia, Mediterranean and India. It is widely grown in West Africa especially Nigeria. It is also used for the production of vanspati. Okra seed oil is a common edible oil that is extracted with the use of solvent extraction method and could also be used as a substitute for cotton seed oil. Sensitive people might get allergic reactions.Before use, consult the doctor to remain on the safe side.The people who have kidney stones and irritable bowel syndrome should not use it.Due to its increased popularity, the pods have gained respect as a vegetable in the country U.S. Creoles learned to cook okra for thickening soups from slaves in Louisiana. and Caribbean and was brought from West Africa by slaves and soon after, it was introduced to Western Europe. The seed pods were cooked and seeds were roasted or ground and also used as a substitute for coffee. It is commercially grown in Japan, India, Western Africa, Iran, Turkey, Bangladesh, Yugoslavia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Brazil, India, Cyprus, Ethiopia and Southern United States. It is an excellent source of linoleic acid which is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is a required nutrition for humans. This oil possesses Gama and Alfa tocopherols along with triglycerides. The resulted oil is bright yellow in color having a greenish tinge and a fragrant odor. In 1920, Baughman and Jamaienson analyzed that the seeds have 20% of oil so Solvent extraction method is suitable to extract oil instead of expelling. The seeds of Okra are striated hairy and round that could be used for oil extraction. Okra has high content of Vitamin C, A, iron and calcium. It is mostly prized for the seed pods it produces. Botanically, it is called Abelmoschus esculentus and belongs to the family Malvaceae. It is also known as bhindi, lady’s fingers and bhendi. In order to preserve many of the vitamins and nutrients in fresh okra it may be advised to cook at as low a temperature or as little time as possible.Okra is a flowering plant that has been originated in India and various English speaking countries. When okra is cooked from frozen it is important to remove as much of the extra moisture as possible. Picking okra when wet can cause it to discolor however, this does not affect it in any adverse way other than how it looks. It is important to note that okra must be blanched before freezing. Okra may also be frozen or pickled and canned to extend the length of time this vegetable may be enjoyed. It is a key ingredient in many gumbo recipes. It can be lightly breaded and fried, added to soups and stews, and so much more. Because okra is high in Vitamin C it is beneficial as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Okra has even successfully been used as an experimental blood plasma replacement. The fiber in okra also works as a probiotic feeding the good bacteria found in the digestive system. Okra is a very high fiber food which allows it to help regulate and stabilize blood sugars. It is best to pick your okra pods when they are 3 inches in length. Some commonly grown varieties of okra include: Annie Oakley, Red Burgundy, Cow Horn, Jade, Clemson Spineless, and Dwarf Green Long Pod. Okra is a warm weather loving plant and will not grow well when the temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. In order to ensure an adequate amount of okra plants, it is best to plant 3 seeds together at each spot then thin down to 1 plant when they reach about 6 inches in height. Okra needs quite a bit of room to grow so plant your seeds about 15 inches apart. It is important to wait to plant until all danger of frost has passed. It does not like to be transplanted therefore it is best to directly sow your okra seeds in the garden. Okra which is sometimes called Gumbo is also known by the scientific names Abelmoschus esculentus and Hibiscus esculentus. During World War II okra was even used as a replacement to brew coffee since the okra seeds were used as beans. And, okra was cultivated by the Egyptians as far back as the times of Cleopatra. It is believed that Okra had its beginnings in Africa and has spread throughout the world to places such as the United States and Japan.

オクラ[Okura] Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench

Okra. It is native to Africa and was introduced in the early Meiji period (1868-1912). It seems to be sometimes written in Kanji as 秋葵(Autumn mallow).

By the way, this one was blooming in a field in the plain area.
