Okra, Clemson Spineless, has been grown three years, one year with success. In all cases it was started in pots in the greenhouse. This is in Zone 5. Transplant shock and cool weather did them in on the two years or failure.

From six plants I got more than I could use, since I hardly knew what to do with it. This was the good year, 2012. the other years it was a disaster and they mostly died. Now with the experience gained I will juice them with other vegetables. In my case they have to be picked every other day since when in peak growing season they get large very quickly.

This year I sowed directly into the garden on 7 June. There are about sixteen plants which appear to be thriving for now about two inches tall, so I am optimistic.
