Looks like you are having a successful year in your garden ;D
Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28 The Lord God used animal skins and made some clothes for the man and his wife. Then he put the clothes on them. Genesis 3:21So take your bow and arrows and go hunting and kill an animal for me to eat. Genesis 27:3

We had a very early spring down here in the Southern states. I had my garden in the ground first of April and it was already in the 80s by then. Now it's 100 and dry!

We dont on the corn,squash,zuc., or peppers. Never had a problem with it. The beans and peas we blanch wich is what the wife is doing today. I have used the vaccum seal before and if I have bags but we just used freezer bags today. Just got all the air out we can. Wife has used a straw before in the corner to suck out the air.

I have done it both ways before and could not tell a difference in the taste. Just takes longer to cook if not blanch. We eat it pretty quick because my kids love it, but if i was going to store it for over a year i would vaccum pack it to keep.

On the okra one way I have done it is place on a cookie sheet and put it in the freezer. Make sure the don't touch. Once frozen place in a freezer bag, that way you can get out what you want and not have a big glob of okra.
;D
