Okra-Clemson (50g/100g)
Okra is a warm-season broadleaf vegetable in the cotton family that is extremely deep-rooted and has excellent heat and drought tolerance. Okra’s massive taproot is an excellent compaction breaker. This fast-growing plant provides a large canopy, long-lasting residue, and winter snow catch. Livestock will graze okra, as the pods are high in vitamin A, C, and K, along with other minerals and vitamins that help strengthen the immune system and bones.

Appearance And Use
This exotic, tropical-looking, plant grows 3-6 feet tall and produces 2-3 inch, pale yellow with a maroon centre, Hibiscus-like flowers. Narrow, ribbed, edible pods with pointed ends follow the flowers. The pods become tough as they increase in size, so harvest them when they are 3 inches long or less. Pick them daily to keep the plants in production.
How To Sow
Sow under cover 4-6 weeks directly outside in warmer areas from late spring.
Sow 1/2-3/4 inch deep, 2 to a pot, and thin to strongest seedling, or thinly in rows, thinning to 18-24 inches between plants.
Plant out after the last frost.
Sunny location required in order to maximize harvest.
Harvest pods when they are young and tender, 2 1/2 – 3 inches long.
