I can get them from a feed store in Austin but I had a few pounds that I had harvested from plants last year.
These seeds go back almost 25 or so years with me and I hate to lose them.
Not the same seeds but from the same stock, they are like losing an old friend.
I think my brother still has some and a lady in the east got a really big bag of them from me.
But I can’t find mine darn it all.
Thanks for the links though.
Now for this green velvet okra, I have grown all kinds of okra and this one consistently puts out nice long pods that are tender, as long as it doesn’t frost it grows great.
I have had plants 10 feet tall.
My brother swore up and down his plants got to the top of his house and were 3 inches at the base of the trunk.
I can’t prove this though I just have to take his word.
You can grow them as close as a foot or so apart and they still do good, I have grown mine even closer with good results.
If anybody out there hasn’t tried green velvet and grows okra it may be the only okra you grow from now on.
At the end of the year just let the pods dry up and collect the seeds for next year, they will always come back true.
A real winner!!!!!:wink:
Now I sound like some seed catalog sales pitch.
