Hmm. I have not experienced any itching. I only grow a few plants though. Maybe if you pick a lot that becomes a problem.

At the last second I added some more tomatoes to my garden plan (imagine that!) and now I need to move my okra over with my cukes, squash and melons. I think this means I'll need to grow smaller plants. I have seed for Dwarf Green Long Pod. Has anyone grown this variety before? I'm hoping to space the plants a foot or less apart. It's a four foot wide bed and I'd like to get four to six plants in there. That's tight, I know, but just wondering if it might work with these small plants. The seeds are from Victory and they say the plants will only grow to be about three feet tall.
