awesome ...how months it yields in a year

You might want to read and correct your description. Okra is tender frost, as in not very happy in cold especially at night.

Haw to harvest. Not haw to plant couse didn't see u plant it. Or mybe u idiot and harvest first and then plant?

This is the first expert village video to ever help me. Thank you for your wisdom.

What's a stoner?

Plant okra about one foot apart. I grow okra every year. And let some okra stay on the plant and turn brown. Then you will have all the seeds you will ever need for next year. I usually leave about four plants alone for seeds. They will wilt and die and produce more seeds than you can use. Good luck

This is true. The best plants are grown by us.

how often does okra need to be watered?

yes, sometimes it is green, but i've seen both purple and red pods before and since when is a flower a vegetable?

everyone thats anyone knows the best plants are grown by stoners. reread-not all stoners grow the best plants...but the connection to the earth spirits are best understood by those closest to them. the plant freaks. mushroom heads. cactus drinkers. compost brains.

its a flower dummy.

Okra.is.my.hated.vegetable.ever!!! No joke :-[

@SidneyBoud

You say plant Okra 1 ft apart. Some say plant 2 or 3 feet apart and leave all the sprouts grow wish produce okra. Is the 1 ft apart faster producer. Or have you tried both methods and is one superior at producing early or producing more. I tried the ft apart but didn't have enough seed to plant all slots.

@emforty2 YES! even one fruit tree is too much for one person to eat all the fruit off of usually

you know, the okra looks like a monarch pupa, except longer or vice versa the monarch pupa looks like the okra vegetable, except shorter

okra is good,steam it and just vinegar and little salt its yummy.

@DeisisAndDrosera Close. He doesn't have a cold. He has allergies. I guess it's his" thorn in the flesh." God has blessed him with a love for gardening, but he's allergic to what he loves. And I agree, these guys should stop giving him a hard time. Dude is suffering for his love of gardening. Also, these vids are old. I've seen him on TV recently. He looks more mature, and he has a full beard.

Dude, you're awesome. Plain and simple. Thanks for the lessons.
