Eating Lady Finger regularly can help control cholesterol levels and keep the heart-healthy. Okra has been found to have lectin, a type of protein that prevents human cancer cells' growth. It contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Zinc, which can help in improving eye health. Thanks for uploading this video. Very good info.
@@suryalatha2551 as far as I can tell, they like hot, and keep them watered. I’m in Florida and we planted around September. I’m betting late spring will be good too. Like I said, we just started this year, so I’m still in the experimental phase of learning.
My family loves okra and last year was my first time growing it. I planted 12. Just wow. I still have massive amounts of frozen okra. This year i am only planting 4.
I live in Texas and okra is taylor made for Texas climate. There are a few okra varieties that you can allow the pods to grow up to 16 inches and they will still be tender (Louisiana Long Pod) but the Clemson Spinless is the best tasting in my opinion.
Lilly is so adorable as a pup and enjoy seeing her in the newer videos. She is still adorable as ever. Thank you Jag for all the videos that you make for newbies, experienced and those who just need a refresher course.
Out of all the plants I grow I must say I enjoy growing the okra plant. As you stated and I agree it does not attract many insects. This year I planted my okra in a raised garden bed. The spacing was not the best, but being close together the leaves of the okra create a very nice shade and I have noticed I do not have to water the plants as much like I did in years past. I live in Texas so that is a huge plus for my okra plants.
Please look into alfalfa hay mulching. One of the benefits is that, this will greatly reduce the watering. And it needs to be deep mulching, with 2 or 3 inches I believe.
Thank you very much for the information! Now I can finally add okra to my vegetable collection this summer. Okra, along with asparagus, ranks first in my list of favorite veggies.
Okra does well directly sowed in warm soil. I'm in Zone 6B (Louisville) and direct sow in late May to early June. They sprout and grow quickly, basically into a tree in these parts. By mid-summer, I'll start getting pods galore, and that's just from a few plants.
Thanks! Great information on Okra! I put it in my raised bed. The heat in So. Alabama is perfect.It’s really starting to take off and it’s starting to rain everyday. Just added my homemade compost…Didn’t realize they love to be heavily fertilized.. Your Lilly is precious!
Central Arkansas, we grow lots of okra. Mostly heirloom burgundy, and Clemson spineless. We eat it raw, primarily. Most our pods we pick are between 4inches to 10 inches, in the case we for got a few for a day or 2 too long. Even the big ones are generally not stringy as long as we have kept the plants well watered. You are so right, they do LOVE water, however are quite adaptable. Our stalks are like treetrunks by the end of the season and I utilize them either Shredded and out back into the garden or I dry them and make small border fences with them. Thank you for your videos. Have a blessed, bountiful season!
Fabulous video! Okra is my absolute favorite vegetable. Thank you for making me feel empowered to grow such an easy crop! Your kindness just radiates, I appreciate you sharing your time and expertise :)
I tried growing okra in the mountains of Costa Rica and it wasn't happy. A friend at the beach in the Pacific side took my seeds and they grew 6 or 7 feet tall and produced enough for everyone who wanted it. My friend gave me a huge basket full when I visited, more than all my plants grew up in the mountains. Now I'm in NC and hope to plant okra tomorrow, even though it's a little late maybe.
Thanks for the info. I just put some seeds to germinate 3 days ago, to sprout just saw a couple with slight growth. However, I’m glad I watched your video. You said that you have give it some time to sprout. I feel much better now. God bless you..
I live in northern Italy at 740 m and planted some ochra seeds yesterday and then your video popped up! It isn't a very common vegetable here, but I am very curious to taste ochra. Thank you for these precious tips, hoping to be able to harvest in a few months! PS Lilly is a beauty!
Ive been gardening veggies for 3yrs now & i see that ive been missing out on Okra !! Im glad you shared this video. I had no clue how big okra can get 😯 . Im so excited for my new plant babies to grow 😄🪴
I planted 12 seeds on 2nd March. I grow in the terrace which is above the fourth floor., so couldn't plant more .It's no even a month and my plants have started producing flowers and a few small vegetables have started appearing.. I made a raised bed of wood and nails and used a mix of garden soil ,cow manure and cocopeat ..Loved the video and info is very useful..🙏
Very comprehensive video to grow okra and get seeds for the next year. I live in Australia followed the steps in growing from JAG'S video and got the perfect results.
Will they grow in a hot house? Moving to Vancouver but I just fell in love with Okra. Red okra doesn’t get as woody as the green ones. I love your dog. She’s so sweet.
Jag, your channel has to be one of my top three. Thank you so much. God bless you and all your loved ones in Jesus’ Holy Name. 🙏🏼 PS LILY IS AWESOME! ❤️
Hi Ja! Loved your video on Okra plant care! I grew some in pots last year- pretty good yield! I have a question- do the plants produce okra in the second year of growth? Can I prune last year’s plants with the hope they will grown and produce more this year?
Great tutorial. I love okra and will be planting mine for a June 1 transplant date. I will be using biodegradable pots so I can plant the whole thing without disturbing the roots.
I tore a 2 foot okra plant out of the ground to prioritize the one next to it, and I made sure to protect the roots of the one next to it without worrying about the removed one much. I potted it and all leaves were dying by the next day, but one tiny new leaf grew, and prospered, and now has friends. It was an interesting experiment. Why was the young leaf not bothered as the others died around it? I wonder if this knowledge has any potential
I can eat okra EVERY DAY! It's supposed to be great for the joints- eaten raw or with a pinch of salt. Will try growing some. Singapore's weather should be perfect for growing okra. Thx for yr inspiring video :)
Good Man! Jah bless you! I've raised okra since childhood but lost my dad at an early age.... Thank you for filling in the blanks I been missing!!!! May your shadow never grow less my friend!"I say my friend because all of is who plant believe in a Tommorow when none is guaranteed!:)
i am hoping to plant okra this year. first time. i hope to pickle it. i love pickled okra...my seeds are being shipped now. got some clemson spineless, jinge orange, okinawa pink, and red burgundy.
First time watching one of your video. Your presentation is really well made. Lot of great closeup shots. Really pleasant atmosphere. And I especially appreciated the depth of information regarding okra - you basically covered everything I wanted to know about, seed to harvest. I am extremely thankful.
Wow thankyou for sharing, lcan now understand why l've had zero success with growing okra. Been doing all the wrong things. Can't wait to try again! Greetings from South Africa.
i really enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot and have put into practice what I have learned... and Lilly? She is such a beautiful little helper... She's a #1 in my book.
My dad always took the okra seeds and put them in a little bit of Clorox just for a couple of seconds to get them to sprout. As soon as you see them sprout, then you take them and wash them really good and go plant them. Works every time and beautiful okra! But that’s the only seed that you can do this too.
Such a nice show, I've grown okra in Maine with good success,I now live in Florida and I have better luck with it here,sad to say but I have to grow in containers as there's nothing but sand where I am, please keep up the good work !!
If okra and calendula are next to each other, will aphids prefer calendula? So far I had success with the calendula for the range of plants I have. Aphids go on it even if the branches are crossing over the other plants.
Greetings from Colorado. An old farmer in Mississippi told me one of his okra secrets for quick germination. 🙏💜🙏💚🙏 Put seeds in a cup or bowl and pour boiling water over seeds and soak them. Germination is quick. God bless everyone and happy gardening. 🌴⚘🌴⚘🌴⚘🌴⚘🌴⚘🌴⚘🌴
@@truthseeker9416 after pouring boiling water over the okra seeds, let them soak in water until you see a small tail sprout. Don't need much water to do it. An inch or two above seeds in a cup works great. 24 to 48 hours should do the job. Let me know how it turns out. You could do just a few so you can see that it works. 👍
Thanks. Just watched. Now purchased a pack of Okra seeds and will try growing here in the UK. Thanks. PS - try growing Cucamelon, magic vegetable or is it a fruit. This season I have during lockdown managed to prporgate & grow on 35 plants.
@@preetgill6690 Do you have a problem with ants on your okra plants? On my okra plants, I have to check them daily for aphids that the ants are farming. Yeesh!
First time growing okra in the north. I’ve grown the seeds indoors and have transplanted 3 in a large dark container. The weather is warming up and the plants look generally healthy except the newer leaves are yellow and some leaves are starting to have yellowing of the leaves with green veins. Soil is moist. Any suggestions?
I just started playing around with a garden this year just kind of seeing what I like and what I don't like. And while they're sleep tours on my tomatoes and even on my peas there does not seem to be the same pest infestations with my okra. I directly sewed three of the plants into the ground started two seedlings inside and move them outside one in a pot and one in the ground and they all sprouted which is encouraging when you're just starting out. Oddly enough the one in the pot seems to be doing the best I'm not really sure maybe he had more manure than the other ones did LOL

This video has been an eye opener for me who has started a full size garden with okra as the main crop thank you and God bless
Lectin is bad for health, recently I learned Orkra has high oxalate, which will cause stones.
Thanks for the video I've planted Okra for the first time Thanks a lo😢
Ooohhhh I did not know that..thank you so much doctor
I just started gardening this year and so far okra has been the most satisfying. 4-5 days from flower to harvest, it’s crazy how fast it grows.
how is it posible please tell me some tips honesty

Yup. I grew 3 plants in zone 9b Arizona. They're thriving despite our infernal weather. Very pleased with this plant.

Long pods 8’-10’ and still not tough
