This okra bed came to life at the last moment. I had already filled my raised bed with tomatoes, peppers, butternut squash and cukes so I had no room left for the okra.
I did have a sunny spot 5' by 15' area which I had put plastic on and placed containers on it the year before. So the grass was gone and I dug down, it was very Sandy soil . I was surprised, wasn't sure how it would perform but at least it was easy digging. Dumped in some black cow and mushroom compost and that was it. I haven't fertilized since then. I have 35 Choppee plants and 5 Jing orange and now I'm wondering about cross pollination? They are on the opposite end but idk, what think?
Some of the okra stalks at bottom look like small tree trunks.
