    If you have ant problems on your okra, you already know the size of the seed. You already know what the bloom looks like. You already know the plant is green and it gets real tall. Just need to know how to keep ants off.

    Thanks for this. I had the seedlings in the ground but had to transplant them back into large pots due to pests.

    I've got seeds from a friend down the road from me who grows cowhorn every year and iv saved seeds from those plants for the past maybe 4 or 5 years. 🐯
  • How do I get the ants off the bottoms of leaves or flowers?Tjank you for making this video. I just love okra and really fought ants last year. The base of your okra plant looked hearty. By the time my okra got that big to paint the base, I’d already have them all over my leaves. Any advice?
  • Hi Grow the earth what about using Vaseline will it not do same job as this product you used from Amazon with the brush? Australia

    Hi Sir i have pest problem with my orkra leaves all eaten up
  • Yeah this is my first time growing okra so I didn't actually know this but ants are literally chewing the leaves up and now they're attacking a couple of the Oprah's that have sprouted off the plant and to my four 5 plants already have yellow okra pieces I'm kind of pissed cuz I put some pesticides down and it's like it's not even slowing them down
  • @oldporkchops
    Amen brother! Which okra variety that you've grown over the years has the best yields?

    I wonder if you could have accomplished the same thing with some $ store double sided tape 😂
