Earlier this spring I was having trouble getting my jambalaya okra seeds to germinate because of cool weather and I asked Chuck if he happened to have any okra extra seed he could send me. Turns out he had some of his own "heritage" okra seed which he was kind to send to me...and perhaps he can post the story of it here.
Chuck's okra is distinct from others I have seen...seems to be shorter fuller more "squatty" fruit. Interesting to see differences. Haven't tasted any yet so no comment in that regard.
Okra is just now really producing ....the hotter the better. Its a summer staple around here....and my thanks to Chuck for some of his seeds. I'll save seeds from them for future years.
Chuck's okra right bottom, jambalaya left bottom.
