I have limited space and grow in containers. I have 4 okra plants so don't get many at a time. I keep a Ziploc bag of seasoned cornmeal in my freezer so I can cut up and add whatever I get. Every few days I fry okra. Yum.

My parents lived on a farm way back in the woods. My mom's Crimson Spineless would get tall and she would have several rows. One day a black helicopter hovered over her okra for several minutes. The next day a federal agent was sitting at the gate. We had to show him the okra patch. Every year the helicopter would check out her patch but no more agents showed up.

Enjoyed the tutorial, I can use the info..thanks.

Amazing information thank you

Great info great video. Iv been experimenting with okra as well. Last year I found a breed called Jambalya, and I don't think any thing can come close to the production. I world say about 3 to 5 times that of classic spinless. I see now they put out a new one called Jambalya 2.0. I'm definitely trying some this year. I mostly pickle it and eat it raw. Only down fall is that it's a hybrid so keeping seeds probably won't be productive. Hope you try some I'm SURE you will be surprised!

EXCELLENT REVIEW ALL PRASES TO YOU SIR🧐🧐🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 SHABATT SHALOM YOUR IN MY PRAYERS 🙏🏾

Excellent video. Subscribed.

Hey you know you can eat the leaves and flowers Also try growing OKRA BURGUNDY - CLEMSON SPINELESS variaty .

Thank you for sharing this information. God Bless you

good video much love

I have never grown okra,but i have a packet of clemson spineless seeds here... I might give it a go... Thanks to you....❤😊

Very informative video! Will wait for the next okra video. I've grown the Crimson only but would love to try the others

My favorite is the jambalaya. Thanks for sharing.

wish i watched this amazing video last week i already planed my clemson spineless here in ga new subsfsciber thank you

Thanks for your useful review. So at the end, you picked the Emeral green to grow again next year because it lastedlonger and more productive comparing to the other 2 varieties? I was under the impression that you liked the other two better because the Perkins stay soft with the longer sizes, and the Clemson was more prolific. But ít seemed the okra's size was important to you, while to me that doesn't matter. I like any okra thát can stay tender when the pods get longer. That's the most important, then the production is the needed trait right after. The Perkins long pod as you mentioned earlier, stay soft even when the pods get longer. What's about the Emeral and the Clemson? their pods got tough when they got longer? Can you tell me at which length they started to get tough and became inedible? How many okras that you started at the beginning and what's about the germination rate of those varieties? I saw your okras looked like they planted kind of close to one another. You didn't prune them in the entire length of the growing process ? I grew the Emeral Green last year in the Fall. They survived the winter with the lowest temp reached 20 F, then after I pruned the tops, my 2 Emeral greens ( I just tried the very old seeds about 5 years old, so only got about 5 germinated out of 25 seeds, and only 3 survived the winter) became okra bushes and branched out about 10 stems/ each. So I got 3 bush- like okras and one single stem okra. All of them equal with 10 +10 + 1 = 21 okra plants which yield several hundreds of pods, more than enough for my consumption. .

Quiet informative on the comparisons of the different okra varieties. Wanted to know how much basal and top dressing fertilizer per plant is needed and what are the herbicides that one can use when growing okra

Hey' you may have said this already, but i didn't hear it. I 've been growing the green velvet, but hoss tools no longer carry it and I can't find them in a box store. I like the fact that no matter how long they get they don't get hard. What about the perkins long pod, do they get hard with length or are they like the green velvet?

Nice video I wondering if all Emerald okra are smooth variety

That's "Clemson" spineless. It was introduced in 1939 by Clemson University. Clemson spineless 80 is an improved selection introduced in 1980.

Does all okra produce flowers?

Hi! Thanks for sharing this. Where can I purchase the emerald green okra seeds? TIA!

How is the Perkins compared to a Cow Horn ?I was unable to find cow horn this year due to crop failure. I just planted a pound of Perkins.

Jambalaya is highly productive commercially but will sting you very bad if you are sensitive to okra sting beware. Choppee is a short bush long production smooth like green velvet and great for pickling as more fit in a jar crammed tight. Burmese is a great all rounder with spine shape but tender when longer than others and light green pods and shorter like choppee so longer harvests. Fat okra like star of david and alabama red are best for frying as they have a lot of surface area to attach breadcrumbs to but Alabama grows so tall so quick you have less harvest time before its too tall and worst of all is all the short fat okra go hard and woody very fast unlike choppee and burmese which are tops for longer pods that are still edible. Taste is very close between the varieties so select for how you want to use them.
