Learn How To Grow Clemson Spineless Okra if you have never tried! Okra is awesome in stews and medleys, fried or canned. We started these seeds (experiment) via seed tray, egg carton and straight to the ground. What happened? Is there a difference?
In the end, it did not matter. BUT if you have a short growing season you can start your okra indoors so that the plants have time to mature and produce outside before the first frost arrives. The okra plants featured in this video all reached at least 11.5 feet tall by the end of the growing season. And the production was great. Okra likes hot weather.
How much okra should you grow for two people? Well in this experiment we grew 16 plants, because we were experimenting with different starting techniques for okra seeds, and 16 plants produce much more than two people need. At least for fresh consumption. They can be stored (canned or frozen) but if you do not want an excess you can get by with 4-6 okra plants for two people.
There are many varieties of okra. We used Clemson Spineless Okra in this experiment. This experiment was conducted in North Carolina zone 7b. The soil is heavy clay based and was amended with cow manure compost and 10-10-10 fertilizer mix. The plants were rarely watered artificially, even through a summer drought.
