Thanks for your videos. Iwas born in a small village located around Cameroon 🇨🇲 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 border centre/west Africa. Growing up there was no Internet connection nor roads we had to trek for 3 hours to get to Nigeria or 9 hours to get to Cameroon, in other to see good roads or sell our crops, but trust me it was fund and it really made me stronger. My parents where small farmers till 2009 i lost my dad, we had to moved to Lagos Nigeria in 2011. I can remember in my small village my parents didn't have to go through a lot of stress because the land was very fertile and any crop they ever planted was doing extremely well, without fertiliser or watering the crops. 2 years ago I started watching alot of videos on how to farm, because prices of food stuffs in Lagos for the past 2 years has really been going up, and I realised how blessed my small village is lol. I'm happy because my dad's houses are still there. I'm 26 years old and I've been saving up, I can't wait to go back to my village and start up my farm with all this experience I've had in watching different videos and learning more about different virity of crops. I'm really greatful🙏
Next millionaire decision made
Am doing it in kenya
in CA but my husband is from South Carolina so this is my first batch of growing okra. wish me luck,
How is your experience so far Diana?
My Dad planted his okra like you did, only he soaked the trench first really well so the seeds stay moist longer during germination. It is a really lovely plant. Nothing like fried okra!!!!
Its like watching demolition ranch with okra, great tips!!! Great video!!
Okra is absolutely GREAT for everyone from beginners to experienced gardeners. Its super easy, it produces almost every 3 days so you get the rewarding feeling regularly. AND it doesnt require a lot of attention and care. Okra pretty much does its thing.
I have been growing okra forever and you last advice was the best. Lot of people do not know longer thr okra gets worse it it. You might as well use it for seeds. Great video bud
Ok..your videos on veggie gardening are probably the best I have seen..I too have several varieties of tomatoes, okra, peppers, watermelons, squash and zucchini in 5 raised gardens. thanks for the great info!
Awesome video. This is my first year growing okra and I have several doing really good! My husband loves fried okra. God bless you
Hi from Gastonia/Dallas area. Just got got some baby bubba okra seeds from burpee. Will be planting in containers. First time okra planting.
Growing okra for the first time this was perfect rundown! Mine are starting to produce and this gave me great info for harvest!
Very good video on growing okra from start to finish. I look forward to seeing more tips from you. Thanks.
Ha!! Heard Shelby NC and my ears perked up!! I've lived in Cleveland County most of my life!! Now reside in Dallas NC. GREAT VIDEO!!
Hey, we moved to Gaffney SC, from Seattle. I’ve never heard of okra before but I tried some pickled ones and I liked it, now I but some seeds and planing to plant them this year.
I love making fried okra!! Thanks for another great video!!! 🤗🤗
Fried okra is the best!!!! Thanks for watching!
@@skgreenhouse LOL, yes, yes it is!!!!
What a coincidence! My family is from out by Shelby-Gaffney-Cleveland County area and I'm watching you to learn how to plant okra!! Greetings from VA😊
Thanks for the video.♡♡♡
I grew okra last year, but not from seed. So this tips on growing from seed is a plus.
I came to realize as you mentioned, not to let the okra grow too large. It was hard a brick! 😅 Wish I would had watched this video early last year. I lost loads of okra because I left it of the bush too long, unfortunately.
Thanks for this video! I'm just a little south of you in Spartanburg. This is my first year growing okra, and this video really helped. You know I'm gonna be frying some of these beauties- I hope.
Great video
PPP ppg q
I dig your tutorials !!! thanks my dude!
Excellent video! Will need to thin out mine and hopefully they will really take off. Thanks!
Me too I'm tried to planting okra ...masarap po kasi na ulam sa amin dito sa mindoro province lagi kung ulam yan
Thank you so much. I have experieced issues with my okras growing for the last two years. Hopefully this information will change those issue this year.
thank you for taking the time to make this video. I am growing Okra for a dear friend, so I want to grow perfect Okra, your video will help me do that!! Happy growing!

Thanks for your advice an perception on okra
I love this veggie. Plant and flower omg yellow colour. Nice. When you pulled the baby okra plant . I wanted put those in my garden😂
Planning to my okra now I know what to do thank you for the video❤
I’m Makeing a okra meal as I watch ur viedos I love okra
When thinning okra you can eat the plants like spinach. I actually like them as greens more than I like the pods.
Thank you! Happy to subscribe
Hello from Marion, NC. Great info on okra!
Thanks so much for this. I’ve never grown okra but we love it. It’s beginning of June in 6b so that sounds like a great time to plant some. Hope I can find the seeds!
Absolutely the best okra tutorial I've seen so far. Prepping raised bed now, and excited about future harvest. 😊
Awesome content..i planted okra once in the ground and it ended up being like jack and the beanstalk. I do plan on growing some in containers, but I'm too late for this year
Lol that's awesome! I really wanted to come out with this video sooner but I wanted to wait until I could show the harvesting stage. 🙂
i love u and ur videos inspired me to be a maillionare thanks i am a millionare now
Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!!
Lots of knowledge gained thanks to
Thanks!
Thanks for this informative video. About to plant my okra seeds now and hoping they do well. One thing i have found is that when okra stays too long and become tough, they are less slimy than their younger, tender counterpart.
I’ve seen okra boiled, then the slime is used as a binder for homemade paper. I bet those large, slimy pods would produce a better slime yield!
Thanks bro👍🏻💯
Good to know!
My last BRANDY WINE tomato plant Was dropped so the huge fruit flu out and the plant got hurted so I Lost it, and You guys do not know how hard it is to get HEIRLOOM tomatoes here in México, specially brandys... just imagine...it took me 5 years to get some seeds. That's why in My channel I'm giving some of My 13 variaties to some new subscribers. Saludos from Cholula México.
Thank you.
Thank you so much we
lo❤e okra.👌🌿
I would love a video about how to companion plant. Like in this video, your decision to plant the okra in with the melons. I am thinking my potatoes would need to be harvested when okra needs to be planted in my area. I need some good suggestions like that please! I love your videos, and wish I lived closer to your greenhouse.
Pickeled okra is the best! If I could only choose 1 veggie to grow in my garden, it would be okra.
I love fried okra and hot pickled okra. Yummy both ways. Also I love it sauteed/ fried the Indian way. It is so good with rice, dal, pumpkin and fried spinach as sides. Very yummy
*Do you need garden stakes to help them grow upward?*
Your video is helpful! Thank you!!
I'm gonna gross y'all out... My southern family not only loves fried okra, but we love boiled okra and tomatoes with elbow macaroni.
My granny always made rice and tomatoes and boiled okra!
So good! I cook okra, tomatoes and onions all the time!
I love okra stew, but have never had it with macaroni. However, we eat okra with corn pap, a thick corn porridge
Stir fried is healthier.
Healthier than stewed?@@michaelang2014
Okra is so easy to grow. I plant 2 rows of okra and plant a row of carrots just inside the edge of the raised bed on the long sides of my bed.
no, no its really not. ive tried twice now on my 3rd year of trying. ive never seen anything come up and ive followed what several people have said
Beautiful and brilliant!!!! 😄 I planted burgundy okra this year (I'm in zone 6) and they are coming along wonderfully! I eat my garden daily and they too get tossed into soups and salads. Thx for sharing. I have elevated raised garden beds and am growing my okra on the ground but your garden beds are beautiful...
How are they doing? I just purchased seeds of that variety!
Amazing work. Your new subscriber promoting organic Kitchen Gardening in Pakistan 😊💚
Good video🎥 👍🔥🔥🔥
Thanks
With your spotty germination time, did you happen to pre soak your seeds? Okra seed takes alot of water to crack open. Just like soaking beans before you make a pot of em. If u didn't I would recommend trying it. Great video and good luck.
G do you soak the seeds before planting? I soaked my seeds for 3 days changing the water every day and nothing happened.
Wonderful information. I have transplanted a big about 6-7 feet tall persemon tree in the back yard, last February (2021) After about a month it did give small, beautiful leaves and showed good signs as if it survived the transplant shock. These leaves then dried off, may be to the fall season. Now this in NO sign of leaves, my other plant of persimmons had already given out big leaves. What should I do to revive this plant? I have been watering it regularly and had put plant food and other things last year...Please advise
Best channel on gardening ever... love your content and well executed to make us newbies feel like we have a chance at this! My first year this year and lots to learn and lots of mistakes...I’m in northern Indiana now, but you should know I’m a Pirate and certain you know what I mean... missing NC when I see the pine straw! Great job!
check out Lazydogfarm channel. Really good info foe new gardeners also.
Congrats on being a CZcams "Creator on the Rise," Justin! And thanks for showing us all the steps to grow okra - I'd love to try this!
You can plant them a lot closer than that. I have seen them planted like a hedge row.
7:00 I prefer the tough slimy ones that are bigger
Thank you for making this video.
I appreciate you.

Happy New Subscriber 😃
When you harvest them do they regrow on the same stock? Love this btw
I love okra. In my Coutry We call It 'quiabo"
For quick germination, soak the seeds in water. Then after 3 hrs, transfer them into a wet kitchen towel. 3 days later they will germinated for transplantation.
This method works for other seeds as well.
You have a very interesting accent. Sounds like you grew up on the west coast, but moved to the south.
Great video! I didn’t thin mine out😢
I always have luck freezing the okra seeds before I plant them !
Hi neighbor I'm in Forest City right up the road. My okra is looking amazing, excited to get some soon.
Hey! Thanks for saying hello! 👋
Glad you're okra is doing well! Got to fry some for the first time the other day!
Thank you!! Can I save one of my “too big” okra to use the seeds for next year?
Oh man, I need help! Lol. My Clemson okra plants, bought as plants, almost look like multiple stems coming up in the same place. What the heck? Any thoughts and for what it’s worth @s&k, I’m in western n.c. Mountains.
I have three plants in my garden that I think is okra. It’s starting with the yellow flowers. How long does it take to grow the okra from the time you see the flowers starting?
Any idea if it works also in cold aera during summer?
Just wondering what you put the compost down and the seeds in the compost. Do you have to cover it up with dirt or just leave it like that
Hey there, nice video. Can you put the Raised bed on concrete flooring?
Absolutely! Just make sure you have around 8" or more of soil for roots to grow down into.
👍🏻
Would the bigger one still be good for dehydrating to make okra crisps?
About how many does one plant produce and how quickly? I’m trying to figure out if I should plant it but I only have space for about 3 spread apart.
Harvest everyday. I planted okra at my workplace and any pods I didn't harvest on Friday, were too long and woody on Monday
Hey man how do I get my soil in my garden bed to become more loose like yours?
Thank you for this helpful and informative video. Grew okra easily last year. My plants reached 7 ft tall and produced like crazy. This year, i can't get the seeds to germinate. I'm heartbroken.
I jus viewed dis video. I've 5 okra plants(in Malaysia we prefer to call them ladies fingers). All r doing well, and 2 hav sprouted fruits. I wld like to know whether it is true or not dat u can't keep d okra fruits for long after being harvested or else they'll become woody?? (I'm expecting to harvest quite a few in a short while and don't want to rush to cook them ASAP!!).
Love Okra! How much did it cost you to make those garden beds?
Growing for the dirt at time here. I have way too many too big ones. They seem to need harvesting every day. Are they trash now or is there something I can do to save them?
Do you recommend starting them indoors and transplanting?
Sure you can do that if you want to get a head start. If the soil temp is warm enough and it's an appropriate time to plant in your zone then I would just plant straight into the ground and save a step.
❤😮❤ Lets see did you do a break even analysis? It would appear that you did grow 30.00 worth of Okra but spent 500.00.
When you harvest okra do you clip the leaf with it?
I transplanted my Jing okra a couple weeks ago. Since then they haven't grown at all (7" tall). I'm not sure what's going on. They're not getting overwatered, and they're receiving at least 8 hours of sunlight. I thought about transplant shock, but it's been two weeks. They should have recovered by now.
Brother neptunes harvest isn't a fish emulsion. It is hydrolyzed fish fertilizer so it's not cooked like an emulsion. It's still alive!
I heard okra doesnt do well after moving. Can you pleasse share how did it go for you after moving ?
Growing okra in the Philippines condition is not a problem but as I observed here in Edmonton I tried to plant okra as I observed for a matter of months and half it didn’t grow tall but the colour of the leaf is green and not pale. Any help is much appreciated,a big thanks .
👍👍👍Love it!
Need help. My okra buds are not opening well. They opened a little bit and then closed back. The pods don't grow but withered a few days later. The plants are strong and healthy. I am in Z 7 in New York. What could be the matter? Looking for advice. Thanks so much.
It sounds as if you may be experiencing poor pollination. Use a Qtip or tiny paint brush to transfer pollen to the stamens every time you see a flower.
with fast growing okra, you need to harvest it fast and often. If you let it get too big, it will become too fibrous and woody. Harvest it small and soft
do i need to water it 2x a day or once a day only??
