Yikes, I run out of space, gotta get these shelled…they wont go into the okra mix until i can complete a germination grow out. They are most likely from 2021 or 2022 and are still safe stored inside the pods, no insect damage.
Anyone else have okra seed still inside the dried pods?
This is a pretty accurate representation of all of my okra at the moment.
I’ve had good germination thanks to lots of recent rain and now they are all fighting the weeds and bermudagrass.
That sprout looks healthy and happy. Did you notice if any have red stems?
I haven’t looked very closely but I’m sure some do. I have many red varieties in my mixes.
