Jade Okra

Jade Okra takes about 50 to 55 days to mature to start picking. This Heirloom, open pollinated variety is hands down one of the best producing okra on the market. It's early, and it comes on strong. You can plant early or late; Jade okra will produce!  To all our farmers market friends, add this okra to your line up today!

Jade Okra is a super productive heirloom variety you will have buckets of the to these little green pods. Great for homesteads who like to can will hold up good to freezing and canning.  

Okra does best on a fertile, loamy soil with lots of added humus. Excess nitrogen will favor leaf production at the expense of pod production. Start seed in pots 2-3 weeks before transplanting outside, or plant directly in the garden once the soil temperature averages 65 degrees F (3-4 weeks after last frost). Sow seed 3/4-1 in. deep and thin to 18 in. apart in rows 5-6 ft. apart. Seed may be slow to germinate,

 Hope everyone has great crops
