This is my third year growing okra, but the first year I have tested all these varieties (in order of best productivity to worst at the 70 day mark) : Candlestick, Bulldog, Clemson Spineless, Jambalaya, Silver Queen, and Star of David. ***I personally would not grow this one again. I realize that I'm a little early in judging this one since I'm at only 70 days and the description clearly says 80 days to harvest. It has been giving me some pods since about 60 days, a few earlier, but overall (and again, just at 70 days) it is a distant 5th compared to other varieties. The lighter color is a nice touch in my basket of mixed okra, but its just a touch thus far as I only get about 2 or 3 pods total every other day on 10 plants. Sometimes only one. Maybe it will take off here in a couple weeks, but I don't want to wait 80 days for okra when other varieties gave me a decent harvest starting at 55 days or so. It's a pretty plant, decent height, etc. so I'll give it an honest 3 out of 5.*** I do not claim to be a master gardener, and these are only my results and methods. I planted 10 of each variety, 3 feet apart in rows that are 8 feet apart so that I could mow in between rows. I used a chicken manure based, organic fertilizer mixed with bagged topsoil and my native clay and humped up the rows under weed barrier with a drip system to get them started. I have not fertilized further. I have only used neem oil and BT for insecticides and I hand pick caterpillars, stink bugs and grasshoppers as often as I can. I haven't had major deer problems, though the deer have ready access to the entire plot. I use scissors to cut of the pods as close to the trunk as possible. I also cut off bottom leaves which have yellowed from bug damage and pull the wilted flowers off the emerging pods since they are a gooey mess – I think that’s from the extreme humidity here and that seems to help the pods mature a little quicker, but that’s just something I’ve been trying for the first time this year. I will review each of the 6 varieties. The second paragraph will be specific to the variety, the rest will just be the same ol' mumbo gumbo you just read ;) I sure do love gumbo, which is the whole reason I did this at all.
