    It is also called lady's fingers, although many fruits rather resemble the claws of a predator. Fresh okra fruits are a big fan, it is better to cook stew from them, add them to summer soup, fry and stew. The pods themselves can be pickled, dried or frozen for the winter.

    Okra blooms surprisingly beautifully and for a long time - up to a hundred days, but the result of this flowering is fruits that look like trihedral bean pods.
    Okra is a southerner, she loves an abundance of light and warmth, and is not afraid of drought. There are very good varieties of okra, such as Lady Fingers, as well as the magnificent White Velvet variety, almost echoing Green Velvet, White Cylindrical, Sona variety and Dwarf Green.

    Okra can be harvested before the first frosts, until the plant dies from them. When harvesting and caring for the plant, wear gloves, otherwise you can get hurt on the prickly bristles of foliage, which, in addition, like nettles, can burn the skin.

    I waited a whole year for an answer to the question about okra, but no one answered, so I did not sow the seeds. Their shelf life expires in December this year, so there is still a chance to sow seedlings in winter. Dear summer residents, well, someone grows okra! Share your experience. Will it grow in the Kaliningrad region (in a greenhouse) or is it not worth getting involved? Cucumbers are also tropical plants, and they grow everywhere.
    And further. I planted patissons of the Umbrella variety, I bought them in a good store, not expired, they grow normally, bloom, but the fruits are ugly (I attach a photo). I planted only squash this year, I didn't plant zucchini, so they could not get dusty. What caused such an anomaly ?!

    grow okra?
    I was given okra seeds. Subtracted that in Russia this vegetable is grown only in the Krasnodar region. Maybe someone tried to grow in other regions? Only in the greenhouse? And is it worth it to spend time and effort?
    so far yields are not very good, only squash grows well. Unfortunately, there are few letters from the Baltic states, but I would like to know how the crops of vegetables and fruits are obtained in our climate. Is it really necessary to grow in greenhouses? The best advice tips gardeners from Leningrad region. I advise the summer residents of the Baltics to grow a monastic cucumber of Polish selection, it withstands our fogs, grows well in the open field, does not get sick for a long time and tastes good.
