Planting and Growing Instructions

Clemson Spineless Okra is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in warm temperatures. Here’s how to grow this delicious vegetable in your garden:

1. Soil Preparation:
   Okra thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. It prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). To enrich the soil, mix in organic compost to improve fertility and water retention. Okra plants also require full sunlight, so make sure to select a sunny location in your garden.

2. Planting:
   Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and space them about 12-18 inches apart. Okra plants need plenty of space to grow tall and produce many pods. Plant the seeds after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed up to 70°F (21°C).

3. Watering:
   Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid over-watering. Okra is drought-tolerant once established, but it will perform best with consistent moisture. Be sure to water the plants at the base to avoid wetting the leaves, which can lead to fungal diseases.

4. Care:
   As okra plants grow quite tall, it’s important to stake or support them to prevent the plants from toppling over. Weed control is essential, as weeds can compete with your plants for nutrients and space. Regularly check for weeds around the base of the plants and remove them to keep the plants healthy.

5. Harvesting:
   Okra pods are typically ready to harvest 50-60 days after planting. Harvest the pods when they are about 3-4 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the pods from the plant, leaving a small piece of stem attached.
