Jade okra

Lost okra seeds, so daughter brought this variety home last night. Anyone grow it? Says spineless, grows 7' tall with 6-9" pods. Plant 18" apart. Better be good.

I've never heard of that one but it was developed maybe ten miles up the road from here at the University of Arkansas. I just planted my clemson spineless yesterday but I'll try to remember it for next year. The write-up sounds good.

Went online to read up on it. Says it outyields other varieties......we'll see how it does this far north.

Keep us updated. I'm waiting until my spinach plays out to succession crop my okra, which is ALSO Clemson Spineless. It gives me a connection with my late father, who was a Clemson Grad.

Good article. Anyone had Thai okra or evertender okra? May try Thai okra if I can find it.
