This is my first effort at raising okra, and I find the plant fascinating. I have 17 plants -- a recently discovered web site suggests 4 or 5 plants for a family of 4. Whoops. It's just the wife and me. Guess we'll be doing some freezing. One of the fascinating features of the plant is how briefly the blossom is open. I finally saw some open today. This morning I found three open, or mostly open. At 3:00pm I took my camera out to capture their delicate beauty only to find they had closed already. From the looks of things, I'll have plenty of opportunity, but apparently I'll have to get out there earlier in the day with the camera! I've only picked a couple of pods so far, but the bounty looks like it will be coming on soon.
My plants are Clemson Spineless. Anyone else see the half day blooms on their okra?
For the cognoscenti, is Clemson Spineless a hybrid, or will it grow true from seed? I'd love to save from seed from this year if it will work.
