Clemson Spineless 80 Okra
Price: $2.87
SKU: 3270041Planting Instructions: Sow seeds ¾ inches deep directly in the garden after the soil has warmed or start seeds in pots and transplant after all danger of frost has passed.
Since okra has tough seed coats, you can either scarify or soak seeds prior to sowing to help improve germination. When soaking the seeds, use warm (but not hot) water and only for 4 to 6 hours.
After the plants are about two inches tall, thin them to a spacing of one plant every eighteen inches, removing the weakest looking plants in the process.
Harvest the pods when young and tender. Older pods become tough and fibrous. If the pods are allowed to mature, the plant will cease production. Okra thrives in warm weather and is used in soups, stews, boiled or fried.

I haven't had a good crop of Okra for years and decided to try these seeds. I had doubts but was surprised how fast they germinated and grew to be healthy plants without much help from me. We ate Okra all summer and I froze the rest for winter. I'm very happy with your seed company. Thank-you!

These plants grew quickly and produced loads of great okra! Be sure to pick while less than three inches long. Sometimes you need to harvest every day. I now grow Burgundy Okra instead because it stays tender to six inches!

This is a must have for my garden. One plant provided enough okra that I was picking near daily. If I failed to pick daily, the pods would get too large and tough for them to be deliciously fried. Got about 4 foot tall, but did spread out too far. Vulnerable to Japanese Beetles.

Always a reliable standard okra, season after season.
