Buy these!!

This was a great okra and super easy for first time gardeners. The pods tended to get tough because they'd grow past 3 inches rather quickly. It tasted best in okra and tomatoes or gumbo.

Okra Success in NE Washington!

by

I live in NE Washington state and have tried many different okra varieties with very little success. I actually got a good number of okra pods from Star of David in 2021. I'm very happy about that and will plant it again this year. I got to make fried okra and gumbo! Hooray!

Star of David okra 100 seeds packet missing seeds

by

i bought two packets of 100 seeds of Star of David Okra. To my surprise when i opened it and counted the seeds, I have in one packet 69 seeds and in the other one 89 seeds. I wrote to complain and was told they will send a replacement. I am still waiting. I was expecting a better service from the seed savers exchange....

Patrick,
I would be happy to check to see why you haven't received your replacement packet. Please contact me at jholland@seedsavers.org.

Thank you,
Jody
