OKRA: Ya love it or ya hate ii!
July 25, 2008
Okra. You either love it...or hate it. I love it. Especially stewed with tomatoes and peppers. MMMMMMM.
I have a dwarf okra variety called 'Clemson Spineless' this summer. The plants are quite tiny, but the small blooms are still beautiful.
If you're challenged on space, or can only grow your vegetable garden in containers, switching to dwarf or micro cultivars of your favorite fruits, veggies, and herbs is a great strategy. Not to mention, dwarf edibles are much easier to grow indoors. Currently, as of 2024, there are many more dwarf edible cultivars available. While you may have to shop around with multiple seed or plant vendors to find what you need, it can mean the difference between a successful, or not so, edible garden!
