This stunning Okra variety produces short but plump pods that have a striking burgundy tip and green pod. The flavor is crisp and extremely tender when blanched and boiled. Great fried! It grows to be about 6' tall.
I received my seeds and am anxious to get planting very soon, thank you.
I was sharing some of these seeds, so I counted them, expecting about 50, maybe 55. But noooooo, this packet was way off. There were 65 seed in there!!!
Way to go MIgardener, promising what you can, then still going above and beyond
Seeds all germinated fine. The plants look pretty but the okra isn't great for eating (or harvesting process) unfortunately. I won’t grow these Hill Country Red Okra again. Zone 9B.
I live in zone 6b and planted the seeds pretty late. I wasn’t expecting much and was mostly growing it for the flowers. The plant germinated quickly and not only did it thrive, it even fruited! It’s now October and we have had a handful of frosts and the deer have helped themselves to the leaves so imagine my surprise when I saw the plant trying to bloom another flower!
All of my okra got shaded out this year and I didn't get one single pod in any of my backyard raised beds. Out of desperation I planted these seeds in the only space I had left which was the front yard flower planter. I couldn't believe these produced in mostly shade and in such a shallow planter. Every seed planted germinated. I know they will do amazing next year when I plant them in the right conditions.
I grow these every year and they do very well. The harvest never makes it back into the house. I love to snack on them while I’m in the garden and my kids enjoy them too.
Rose tomatoe. I planted 5 seeds 4 germinated. I already transplanted them.
This basil is insane!! It’s growing so fast and the leaves are as big as the palm of my hand!
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
