I'll get the ball rolling...
I have a limited number of app. 2 gram seed packets(about 20 seeds) of the subject Okra to trade. I’m seeking pollinator flowers seeds in like amount. I don’t need Marigold or Zinnia seeds but others considered.
The “story” behind this (85 days) Open-pollinated interesting Okra:
“When Malcolm and Delphine Beck bought their farm in 1968 in Comal County, Texas, they found in the abandoned garden giant okra stalks with the fattest pods they’d ever seen. They saved and replanted the seed, and it grew big fluted remarkably tender delicious green pods in abundance on sturdy plants. They called it the snapping okra because it snaps so easily off the plants when it is ready to harvest.”
The Okra is shown below mixed in with a few Jambalaya...pretty easy to see which is which.
