FREE: 30+Okra Seed

The listing, 30+Okra Seed has ended.

Listed as 30 seed, but there will always be extra, usually 35 seed.

Okra thrives in full sun, well drained soil. Wait 2-3 weeks after the ground is well warmed. Your biggest crop will be summer and fall. Okra can take the heat, drought and average soil. But it does best in fertile soil and plenty of water.

Increase germination by soaking seed overnight. Keep well warned soil watered but not wet. Plant 1/2” in deep, expect germination in 7-10 days. Thin to 14” apart.

Few insect or disease problems. Attracts butterflies and other pollinators. Grows to 8' tall, continually producing pods until frost. Keep picked for the tenderest pods.

USE - I pick a few okra at about 2- 2 1/2” long for pickling. I pick most at about 5” long for tender slices, perfect for frying, recipes (gumbo, okra and tomatoes. Good for freezing and using later for thickening soups and stews.
