- Today we'll show you how we like to grow our okra. It probably isn't the most productive way to grow okra, but it's certainly the easiest. Do you like to do this to your okra too?

Yes I trim my okra plants in a similar fashion. This improves airflow between the plants and also makes it easier when harvesting the okras.
Love this video and "...listen here, in my garden I grow my okri like I want to..." lol. You've got a new subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!
With them trimmed back you can see those copper heads, or what ever type snake you don't want to come across.
been doing this for years. also easier on your back when harvesting. when the plant gets taller than i can reach i cut the top out and nurture a side shoot as a new plant.
Haven't ever pruned mine but will thank you.
I do it like u do it. Usually as you say honey high I start eliminating the bottom branches.
Gonna try your way this year. Makes sense to me. Thank y'all for your videos. Lots of information.
Our pleasure!
I'm in Aridzona, if it grows I just let it go. Older pods become seeds for next year. We get like 3 inches of rain per year. I'm on a well and can pump enough for my small garden.
I learned a lot through this, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the entertainment, HOSS.
Any time!
Amazing☘️☘️☘️👍
I trim my Clemson Spineless the same way, works out great for me.
My clemson spineless didnt get that huge.....maybe i should till the soil
I do mine that way this yr. I've noticed more at one time at the top.i planted Clemson spineless also
I absolutely love how you say "okra". I'm sorry to be that girl, buti love it. Lmfao. Ood video. Thanks! Gonna try growing like this!
We even have an "oh-kree" shirt on our site: hosstools.com/product/ohkree-shirt/
@@gardeningwithhoss ohh lord. You'll see an order from me soon. Cog hill sent me a few weeks ago. Appreciate all the knowledge!
I save the larger older pods for seeds!
Stressing the plants tends to make the plant produce more pods. Improvement in airflow has to be better.
Thank you, very helpfull. Like you say, grow it how you want to in your garden, showed the options and potential results of each, Very educational...please pronounce it 'okra' and not 'okree', yhanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Amen Brother! I love your okree videos, please make more! 😄
Thank you, I will
@@gardeningwithhoss No, Thank YOU! 😄I'm in zone 7, last year I tried to grow Okra too late so no okree to eat, the frost killed the plants, this year I did too early, all those seeds are probably dead, but I still have more seeds so I just direct sowed some again yesterday, keeping my finger crossed, first time Okree grower. We love listening to your southern accent saying "okreee" 😆 and we love eating okree too.. lol.
Guess Im about as country as you. Grandma said okree I say Okree and you say okree.
For the past two years I will only plant okra on an outside row of my garden so that it's easier to pick and I itch less after.
Just watched a video where guy said u can roast the okra seeds and use as coffee substitute.. wondering if those big hard okra have seeds that could be used like this? Curious curious ♡ ☕️
Not sure, never heard of that one.
Can okree plants be added to the compost pile or will it cause disease issues like with nightshades?
Okra plants really don't have any disease issues, besides nematodes in the soil. You can compost them. Just make sure your compost pile gets good and hot. Those okra stalks are tough and fibrous and can take a while to decompose.
First time okra grower here. If you cut off the leaf but leave the stem, will okra grow there? Thanks for the vid!
yes
Hey Travis...My okra is getting dirt or ant feces or something all over the blooms and pods. Have you seen this before? I never have but this is the first time I've had a garden here in south Georgia only about an hour from you guys.
Ants will feed on aphid residue. You can spray them with spinosad and it should take care of the issue.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thanks!
travis you live down south and your dressed like its fall!! lol
WILL IT GROW you’ve never been in an okra patch! Lol. You will understand the need to have your arms covered. Spiny little things.
I wonder if Clemson Spineless is really spineless? That's what we always plant and okra spines don't bother me too much- no long sleeves.
@@edwinmartin5365 clemson will still chew me up if i dont wear long sleeves
The pods are spineless, as most modern-day varieties are. Clemson Spineless is an old variety and many of the modern-day hybrids include that spineless trait. Never heard of an okra that had spineless leaves.
Also, my limas are just starting to bloom. Should I dose them with rabbit pop?
Just not too much, or else you have all leaves and no beans.
You say "okry", I say "huh?". 😄👍
oh-kree -- that's what the "old-timers" around here call it.
I’ve never noticed but does okra only grow once in the same place? Is that why when you picked it you also cut the branch off?
Correct.
I prune mine back to single leader for efficiency sake on my farm. I grow Clemson spineless and transplant them. I tried Jambalaya about 3 years ago and the pods don't snap off, Is that normal for Jambalaya? Clemson Spineless snaps right off and I can pick 700' of row in 15-20 minutes.
Our Jambalaya always snaps. Longer pods can be more difficult, but Jambalaya is best picked at 3-4" long.
@@gardeningwithhoss I'll give it another try then. I couldn't sell okra longer than 3-4" long haha
Can you save the seeds from the oversized hard okra pods.???
yes
My okra looks sad every year, I live in Canada.
I want one of those hats but ya'll sold out , must have sold out in a hour
They sold very fast. We've already got more ordered, but it will likely be a few weeks.
I'm 74 yrs old. i started pruning okra like this when I was about 10. Just sayin.
Are you saying 'OAK-READ' or 'OAK-REE'? I've never heard such a word.
That is a significant amount of sahara dust we have. Should clear by the 31st I hear... just a fyi www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/nasa-noaa-s-suomi-npp-satellite-analyzes-saharan-dust-aerosol-blanket

Okry
oh-kree
@@gardeningwithhoss That's great lol and how I will say it from now on btw
It's Okra with an A not okre
Depends on who you ask.
Don't mess it up. OKRE is OK. Good for a laugh, along with the accent! Sounds like the deep south!
