Nice article.
As a novice gardener – that's just the sort of thing I look for to help me decide what to plant. I got only one okra variety with the rest of my Sand Hill order this year (admittedly an impulse buy like the Snickers bars near the register at the hardware store...) But that article has motivated me to add a couple others to the list for next year. Thanks for the link. |

I planted some Fife Creek this year; so I'll go and read your link Gary. Might be something there I can use.
Update: I read what the article said about Fife Creek. I'll see how mine does here. I've bookmarked this page so I can write a report at the end of this season. ~* Robin

I didnt read the report entirely but in my short experience at growing okra, I have grown Clemson Spineless, Emerald and Louisanna Green Velvet. All of them approached 8 ft or better during their full growing season. Yield was probably best overall with CS, but Emerald and LGV werent far behind. I love okra and as far as taste goes I would probably give the edge to LGV. Overall productivity would go to Clemson Spineless with Emerald and LGV not being far behind. Harvest was easiest with the CS as it seemed to be the least spineless amongst the three that I have tried.
