August 3, 2011 at 11:39 amHi Nate. I purchased these plants in mid June, and they were about 10 inches tall. So best guess is they were seeded sometime in April?

August 3, 2011 at 1:00 pmI love okra !! Just today I harvested (on a friend’s farm) 10 gallons…. the flowers are so beautiful, it makes me wonder how anyone could not love this veggie.
