{"product_id":"okra-clemson-spineless","title":"Okra, Clemson Spineless","description":"\u003cp\u003eDescription\u003cbr\u003eA favorite of American gardeners for over 80 years, vigorous 4' plants produce an abounding harvest of spineless dark-green, grooved pods. Okra adds body and flavor to soups, stews, and relishes, and can be grilled, braised, steamed, and sautéed. Garden Hint: Soak seed in warm water overnight to speed germination. Pick pods when young at 2½–3\" long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to Grow\u003cbr\u003eKeep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating. Avoid disturbing the soil around the plants when weeding.\u003cbr\u003eKeep plants well watered during dry periods to promote rapid, uninterrupted growth. Plants need about 1-1 ½ inches of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It’s best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.\u003cbr\u003eMonitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTips\u003cbr\u003ePick young okra pods that are 2-3 inches long and harvest them every other day to encourage continuous production. Cut the pods from the stem just above the cap.\u003cbr\u003eStore pods for several days in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.\u003cbr\u003eOkra pods are delicious steamed, in soups and fried.\u003cbr\u003eOkra may also be stored blanched and frozen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haiyiplants","offers":[{"title":"30 Seeds","offer_id":45186690056215,"sku":null,"price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":45186690088983,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":45186690121751,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":45186690154519,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/1616\/5911\/files\/1_d89c8d56-0a4d-4677-88a7-af8b96998d49.jpg?v=1780406925","url":"https:\/\/easytogrowbulb.com\/products\/okra-clemson-spineless","provider":"Easytogrowbulb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
