Origins, Migration, and History of Domestication
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is an old crop of African origin, with the species generally traced to northeastern Africa, especially the Ethiopia–Sudan region, before spreading through North Africa, the Middle East, India, and the Mediterranean world. From there, okra traveled widely through trade, migration, and the forced movement of African peoples across the Atlantic, becoming deeply rooted in the foodways of the American South.

The most famous and widely available red okra. Tender low-spine pods are produced in abundance. Great for raw use (okra straight off the plant is the best way to eat it!) or cooked in most application, though in many preparations the color fades to green (another reason to eat it raw!).

The Red Burgundy okra (also known as Burgundy okra) is a striking variety of okra that is well-loved for its ornamental beauty and culinary uses. The Red Burgundy okra produces deep, vibrant burgundy-colored pods that stand out among the green foliage. The pods are slender, ribbed, and grow to about 6-8 inches long, though they're often harvested when shorter (around 3-4 inches) for the best texture and flavor. The plant itself features attractive burgundy stems and large, pale-yellow flowers with a maroon center, adding a decorative touch to gardens. The plants can grow to be around 4 to 5 feet tall, giving them a stately presence in a vegetable garden.

The pods of Red Burgundy okra are tender and flavorful when harvested young. They can be used in:

    • Gumbo and stews: A classic ingredient in Creole and Cajun cooking.
    • Frying: Breaded and fried for a crunchy snack or side.
    • Pickling: Preserved in brine for a tangy treat.
    • Grilling and roasting: The pods hold up well to high heat, bringing out their natural sweetness.

Growing Conditions:

Red Burgundy okra thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.5). Like most okra varieties, it requires full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) to grow properly. Okra is drought-tolerant but does best with regular watering, especially during hot weather. Okra is a warm-season crop, and Red Burgundy okra particularly thrives in hot, humid climates. It can tolerate heat very well but is sensitive to frost.

Okra pods should be harvested when they are 3-4 inches long for the best flavor and tenderness. If left on the plant too long, they become tough and fibrous. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production.

The Red Burgundy variety is not only prized for its beauty and flavor but also for its adaptability to a wide range of growing conditions, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to add some color to their vegetable garden.

Excellent Tool for Approaching Homer via English
Format: Hardcover
I love the Loeb editions of Homer. I've already ready the Odyssey, now moving on to the Iliad. What I've especially started to enjoy with this volume of the Iliad is the editors decision to "call out" which lines were rejected by which ancient commentators (Aristarchus, etc.). This adds some fun to the reading because you get to review the line in Greek and try to surmise why they rejected it, or how the passage would work without the line. The translation is reasonably modern but still "lordly" and has the tone of a war epic. It was enjoyable to read aloud in both English and Greek.

2,800 years worth of people have heard/read Homer
Format: Hardcover
I just finished reading volume 1 of Homer's Iliad published by The LOEB Classical Library in conjunction with Harvard University Press. The translation is by A.T. Murray with revisions made by William F. Wyatt. The LOEB Classical Library is a academically trusted collection of Greek and Latin publications. The translations are normally more literal than those you might find at your local Barnes and Noble, therefore they read more like an archaic form of English. Homer's Iliad can be found on nearly every great works of literature list. Harold Bloom considered Homer to be in the same family with Cervantes, Dante, and Shakespeare. The Iliad has been read for thousands of years, and every reputable honors program includes his works in their required readings lists. His writings influenced Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. His descriptions of war are grotesque and inspiring. The pantheon of deities he created in his stories set the stage for the Greek mythology that followed him. This is the understanding I had when approaching the book. The bar was set rather high and unlike most expectations these ones were surpassed. As I finished reading volume 1, I asked myself, "how could a writer from the 8th century B.C. have achieved so much, when so many from our era have achieved so little?" Homer had no paper trail of literary criticism to follow. He had no classes in writing style and technique, and yet the Iliad is of such a high caliber that we still read him today. Wayne C. Booth brought to our attention Homer's "leave nothing up to the reader" style of reading. If Homer wants you to favor one group over another, he is going to come out and say it. He can tell you every thought and intent of each character. Homer doesn't care that it would be impossible for anyone to know the thoughts of Agamemnon or Hector. He knows what they thought and that's enough. Many writers today shy away from such literary techniques in favor of modes that demand "reader response." This is not necessarily bad, it's just a different approach but many of their works, if not all, will not demand the attention of 2,800 years worth of readers.
