Organic Okra Clemson Spineless 80
Harvest is painless on spineless plants 4 to 5 feet tall!
These bright green, grooved, straight pods have a full-bodied flavor Okra lovers find utterly delectable. Make a convert in your family with this crowd-pleaser, grown from Certified Organic seed!
Harvest the pods at about 3 to 4 inches long for best flavor. (They will reach 9 inches or so, but tend to be tough if left too long.) Keep the plant picked almost daily during the height of the season; it will stop producing new pods if the old ones are left to mature.
Okra is a warm-weather crop, needing both the soil and the nights to be warm before beginning its vigorous growth. Plant the seeds 1/2-inch deep and an inch apart, leaving 3 feet between rows. They will sprout in 2 to 3 weeks, and should be thinned when they have at least two sets of true leaves. Thin the plants to 12 to 18 inches apart. Plants begin bearing when about a foot tall, and will continue until frost if kept picked. Pkt is 1/4 oz (125 seeds), which sows about 25 feet of row. Cannot ship to CA.
