Clemson Spineless is pretty much what everyone grows around here. It is a super productive plant if you keep the okra cut. The ideal length is about 3 inches. I love it.

That said, I'm going to try something else for the very first time. Bowling Red, (i think that's the name) is what i'm going with this year. I got the seed from Baker Seed. It's a family heirloom from Virginia. I believe it's a cow horn type that is similar to what a lot of folks in Texas grow.

I'd love for others to chime in this.
