Hoss goes over the best strategies and tips for being successful at growing okra in your backyard garden. What are the top 3 Major pests of okra. Okra loves hot weather and will tolerate dry weather as well. Did you know that roselle, okra, and cotton are in the same family? Let's talk how Hoss is so successful! We grew cowhorn okra this season because it's been awhile since we've grown it last. Cowhorn okra is an old heirloom variety and it does get bigger in pod length.

Can you grow okra from the seeds of a store bought okra?

@@Wolf-xu1fj no, the seeds are not ripe enough at this stage. The pods get long and tough and start to split open when they are ready. The seeds are so affordable anyways, just buy some.

I bought a hybrid okra from Walmart. It's for containers. I believe it's called Bubba hybrid. I haven't grown it yet. I have like eleven types of okra. I decided I love it and I can find a variety that will grow like a weed here and that will be the one from now on 😂 I've read you can cook the leaves like greens and the seeds can be roasted and ground for a fake coffee type drink.

Okra has always been part of my garden plot and learned at a young age to wear long sleeve shirts when cutting it. Learned early too that warm soil is best but growing up and now we would soak the seed for a. couple of hours before planting to give the germination a boost. Having said all that, I learned more in this 10 minutes than I have in 40 years of gardening.

I let okra go to seed in my garden last year at the end of the season. This year I have had trouble getting my okra going in the places where I deliberately planted, but everywhere else it's proving to be quite a weed! I find that if pods are just a little overgrown, slicing the pods thinner works fairly well to mitigate toughness. My usual preparation method is to roll in seasoned cornmeal (which will be Jimmy Red this year) and fry.

@bobbun9630 2 года назад

I was watching carefully to see if he mentioned that one, especially since he had some holes in the leaves on his okra. Japanese beetles eat just about everything, but they really love mallow family plants and okra and roselle take a lot of chewing from them. That said, I don't use any control. Japanese beetles are a short term problem with the adults only actively feeding for a few weeks. My plants (crossing fingers) usually don't stop producing as they get chewed on. Edit: There's also probably not a ton you can do. They fly in from all over the place, so the ones you kill today will be replaced tomorrow.

Nice informative video. I wish you would have touched on the subject of plant height. Last year was my first attempt at growing okra. I planted Clemson Spineless and also Green Velvet. Wasn't aware that I needed to top the plants off at about 5' or 6'. I had a plants that reached 12' to 14' high, which made harvesting the top pods a little challenging. This year I only planted the Crimson Spineless but got as super late start. Still waiting on them to get some height and start blooming.

They don't get woody as quickly even if you forget to pick them as early as you'd like. And that's not even the best part...they taste amazing.

@MerwinARTist 15 дней назад

To help with the nematode problem .. I was told by a local friend who works at a Farmer's Co-op to put wood ashes on your garden. It seems to have helped a lot. In my reading stuff on the topic .. wood ash is supposed to be anti-biological .. and when you think about this .. if you were a very young caterpillar .. having just begun life and you were out foraging at night and came to a field of ash .. it would seem like a lifeless desert .. no water etc. and you wouldn't want the ash sticking to your body as it would absorb your moisture. So as a young caterpillar .. you would see the ash as a deterrent .. telling you to go somewhere else. Underground this may also be a factor. Potash is also important to plant cell development.

Do you succession grow in the same soil, or move to another part of the garden? I grew okra two years ago that was red and very tall and never seemed to get tough even when I let it grow much longer than the clemson. Not sure what variety it was but this year I went with Jambalaya based on your luck with them. I seeded them May 20th and they came right up, were watered regularly but since it wasn't HOT/humid like normal, they grew slowly. For the last 4 weeks it's been brutal hot (over 100 many days) and then the rains began about 2 weeks ago - north florida. They are now about 1 1/2 foot tall and still seem happy. I remember the year before last (try to forget last year) they were planted in July and grew till November being at least 6' tall with some higher. They usually gave me about 1 pod every week at the very top. They were so good and tender and long BUT one pod just isn't enough. That's why I switched to jambalaya but don't know if they will get much bigger? Could there be something I need to give them? The rains brought growth so maybe more nitrogen is in order? I usually eat mine in the garden and few make it inside. Love that okree!
