As a South Georgian, I want to thank you guys for your work in our community, the quality of your products, as well as the informative videos that you often post. Keep up the great work!

I've been growing and seed saving Emerald Green Okra for so long I probably have my own strain by now; that's how well it does for me in Texas 9A.
-
I'm liking your new content--lots of garden videos, a little comedy, and frequent chats with Mama Hoss.

my neighbor is in her 90's she told me to solar sterilize my raised beds with black plastic. the beds are open bottoms i did and the results were great. got rid of weed seeds also. i also use black plastic to heat the dirt for cold hating okra early in season.

I bought a hybrid okra from Walmart. It's for containers. I believe it's called Bubba hybrid. I haven't grown it yet. I have like eleven types of okra. I decided I love it and I can find a variety that will grow like a weed here and that will be the one from now on 😂 I've read you can cook the leaves like greens and the seeds can be roasted and ground for a fake coffee type drink. Haven't tried it yet.

Okra has always been part of my garden plot and learned at a young age to wear long sleeve shirts when cutting it. Learned early too that warm soil is best but growing up and now we would soak the seed for a. couple of hours before planting to give the germination a boost. Having said all that, I learned more in this 10 minutes than I have in 40 years of gardening.

I once read that marigolds help with nematodes...I've been planting them all over my garden ever since. I don't know for sure if it works but I will say that I've not had nematodes thus far

I grow Clemson and a red variety. Actually they've interbred, I collect my own seeds, so I get green and red ones on same plant. The ones I really look for are the ones that are both green and red in one pod, which is happening more and more. The combination is so pretty, too.

Excellent and very informative video! Thank you so much for posting this. You get right to the point, throw in some of your likes and wisdom and make it worth the time it takes to watch it. By the way your 20-20-20 has made my garden look fantastic everything is raised beds, and grow bags. Also planning an order for more seeds and fertilizer. Thanks Hoss!
-
Great episode! I had never grown okra until I watched one of your videos. Now I love it! Thanks for everything you do.
-
Greg I just love watching your clips. It’s like visiting with an old friend. So much so I just got in my Hoss winter seed order 🥰
-
Thank you for these OKRA tips - I'm probably one of the few Yankees that likes it. It''s my go to thickener for Gumbo and there is nothing like a plate of fried Okra to go with liver and onions.
-
This is my first year growing it and this was a great video! You answered all my questions!
-
Thanks for the video. It was very informative.
-
Dawn dishwashing liquid will help but you have to keep it up with spraying after a rain washes it off. Ants are a major problem.
-
Love growing Jambalaya okra in my market garden!! Easy to grow and very profitable! Thanks for the great tips!
-
Glad to see this video. I'm growing okra for the first time this year. I'm growing the Jambalaya variety from Hoss 👍
-
The best luck I've ever had growing okra was planting it about 6 feet apart. The plants didn't grow nearly as tall and really bushed out, making it easier to pick. They also seemed to produce more.

Growing okra for the first time and using Hoss jambalaya okra, he’s not kidding they produce like crazy! Also you definitely have to harvest smaller they get really tough over about 4”
