Product Reviews

Okra Clemson Spineless - 1 Pkt. (100 Seeds)

"Plants 4 ft. high, produce an abundance of dark green, slightly grooved, straight, pointed pods without spines. Best when 2 1/2-3 in. long. All-America Winner. Ready to pick 56 days after seed is sown. GARDEN HINTS: Soak seed in warm water overnightto speed germination. Pick pods young, while still tender. Pods are excellent for use in soups, stews and relishes.

Sorry, cannot be sent to CA. "

"I can't believe the other reviews. I'll have to try it again. The germination was great. They were up within days but they just died off. Maybe it was the weather."

very productive and tasty, October 24, 2008
Submitted by dolly from Houston
"This is a tremendous producer here in Houston. We love it. The best way to cook it is to slice it in half, coat it with olive oil and grill it till the tips are dark brown and crunchy. Let cool a little and serve with salt and lime wedges. Even my kids gobble this up."

Incredibly hardy; Fantastic producer!, May 31, 2008
Submitted by GardeningLawyer from Washington, GA
"Clemson spineless okra is so hardy and drought resistant, our healthiest plants (the largest and greenest) were at the end of the aisle where our soaker hose did not reach! Germination rate was nearly 100%. Please pick before the pods are over 5 inches long for best taste. Pods grow quickly, and you must have a plan for freezing or canning if you intend to plant more than just a few plants.

We filled a freezer with the bright green pods that we washed, patted dry and froze whole in quart sized freezer bags. All winter, we cut up the frozen okra and made great soups; tomatoes and okra (with our frozen stewed heirloom tomatoes... mmmm!); and fried okra. We planted Clemson Spineless again in 2008, and we're very pleased."

Excellent!, January 12, 2008
Submitted by Goose from Phila. suburbs
"These are very reliable, prolific and taste great! Also, they're very easy to grow and tolerate a day or two of "neglect" here and there."
