Yes, I did let some dry one year, and sprayed them gold...they were lovely. We've had such a miserable time with the vegetable gardening here the last few years...drought is terrible to deal with. Besides, I've been tending my fabric related addictions rather than the dirt related ones...LOL. It ceased to amaze me long ago what people will pay money for...and I'm as guilty as they come... can't recall selling anything that I ever made a real profit from.
There's an old heirloom okra that would be great for drying...it is certainly not good for eating imho...sometimes the seed catalogues will have it...it's called Cowhorn...it is big and the pods grow curved...hence, the name.
