I had probably 20 plants last year in a raised bed. We ended up with so much orka. I think we put up somewhere around 60 jars of it and also from a bunch.
If you keep picking it, it will keep producing.
We are still several weeks away from planting here in Memphis. Most of next week the lows will be in the 30s. Just enough for frost.
I do have a bunch of tomatoes sprouting right now inside. hopefully they will be big and strong enough when it's time to plant.

My plants will get to 8 ft. tall by late September when I usually pull them to get the garden ready for fall/winter planting.
I plan on planting okra after this next cold front moves out. Probably next weekend. Looks like we'll start having some 60 degree night time temps down here. I'm planting one called Cajun Jewel. It's supposedly a dwarf type. Only supposed to get about 4' tall.
This is the description on Reimer seeds

Early producing plant produces high yields of 7 to 8" long okra. It is a spineless variety that is great for fried okra and making gumbo. Popular in the Southern parts of the USA. Excellent choice for home gardens and market growers.
I have a couple of other varieties including cow horn and Clemson spineless. I may plant those a little later.

I'm gonna look into those as well. I'm going to plant 4-6 okra plants, but the spot I reserved is on the south side of my bed and a super tall plant would cause me problems if I plant fall stuff on the north side of the bed.

After reading the testimonials, I said screw it and ordered a gallon of the Texas Tomato Food.

Clemson Spineless is my go-to variety. I just save a few pods that I let get real big and dry on the plant late in the season for my seeds to plant the next year. It's not unusual for each dried pod to have 70+ seeds in them.

The testimonials and google got me too hah. It's just easier to mix than the stuff I used last fall, and I think I underestimate how often container plants need to be fertilized. Plus, considering its make up, I'm pretty sure it would be tough to overdo it.

I ordered a gallon myself this morning. Ordered directly from Urban Farm Hydrosystems and paid with Paypal. No tax or shipping charges.

Went and ran some errands today and stopped at the Walmart in Slidell(actually saw them at the Kenner store during the week)and picked up half a dozen of nice healthy looking okra plants for $1.50 a pot. Each pot has at least three plants growing in it. They had some 6 pack trays for #3.58 but those plants weren't as strong looking. I'll probablyy plant these tomorrow or Monday. Depends on the weather.
These are Heirloom Clemson Spineless Okra.
BTW, it says to space them 10" apart. I could have gotten a few more! Maybe If I'm out near WM soon I might pick 2 or 3 more.

Anyone else having issues with their Cucumbers and Green Beans? My tomatoes are thriving, but my cucs and gb's are really struggling.
Posted on 3/30/19 at 10:27 am to LSUlefty
Same. Cucs and beans have been pretty stagnant. They are finally starting to make their second and third sets of leaves though. Just in time for this cold front. 
Posted on 3/30/19 at 10:44 am to PillageUrVillage
Those are my strongest beans and cucumbers so far. Most of the other plants don’t look much different right now.
Got some peppers already growing.
Tomato plants are looking really healthy.
I’m ready for this baw to pollinate my cucumbers.

I was like that until someone showed me how to cook it.
Take the whole okra without slicing and toss in a bag of olive oil and some seasoning. Put on pan and bake in oven until crispy.
shite it damn good and most of the slime is gone by the time its finished. should almost be starting to burn in places.

Good looking gardens in here, my modest add
planted tomatoes (creoles and better boy) sweet onion, Cucumber, mixed hot peppers (serano, cayenne and jalapeño)
And damn happy to see the Meyer lemon making a comeback after the freeze

Your modest garden is looking great. Everything looks really healthy.
I worked on a little project today.
All it needs is a little more dirt and some plants. It doesn’t look exactly like the picture I posted a few pages back. But I was going for cheap, not master craftsmen.

anyone ever grown cucumbers on wooden lattice panel.
Wife was on my arse to grow them vertically and I simply sank two 4x4's and screwed a panel of wooden lattice between them.
The cukes are just about long enough to train and I am hoping for the best.
We always had a very good before and i just did not see the reason to monkey with success but....

Yes, just be careful when they are growing to not pinch the vines in the corners. Mine had a habit of getting pinched and subsequently during / getting stunted.
Or it could have been my little kids yanking on shite.
I do thick jute twine now and it’s super easy

It's about time you got around to that. They look great and will function just fine.

Drizzly and probably about 20 mph winds here blowing a few plants around right now. Low 50's.
