Favorite Okra
by Kali
Beautiful pods with perfect okra flavor. Easy to grow in 5a. Their flowers are, in my opinion, the most beautiful okra flowers.
Hardy and productive, but extremely prickly spines
by Frank
We've bought the spineless Okra variety in previous years but wanted to branch out this year and try another variant. This grew extremely well and was very productive/hardy, but the okra were extremely prickly and sharp. I had to wear gloves harvesting (cut my hands to bleeding several times without gloves) and the spines were also incredibly difficult to remove even with soaking, scrubbing, and cooking. This led to some prickliness while eating which isn't pleasant at all. Definitely will stick with the spineless variety going forward.
