I planted the Clemson Spineless and Burgundy Red side by side this year and came up with opposite results from you. The Burgundy Red got tough in smaller size, and did not produce as well as the Clemson Spineless. I am in upstate SC. I will not plant Burgundy Red again. I don’t know why we would get such different results but I just wanted to throw that out there for what it is worth! I will try the Cajun Okra next year. Thank you for the info.

Well, I've been growing Clemson Spinless for probably 40 years... but I planted me some of both of these this year... I think with that many years of experience I'll be in a good position to say if the yield is different. Hoss seeds are more expensive than at my local hardware... I'm trusting they are doing their homework, and bringing us better varieties, and honest advise, they have given me no reason to doubt them to date. The incremental cost of Hoss seed really isn't that much for the hobby farmer (although I take offense to that term). I work very hard in my garden, to keep my family with quality produce and safe food... and I plan to continue as long as I'm able. Hoss Tools is actually making that better, at least for me. I did Drip this year for the very first time, and I can say for sure, even with the trouble I've had with it (pest problems, not product problems), that I have WAY fewer weeds. These guys don't give me a thing except advice, and entertainment. I don't know them, and I don't get paid in any way... just my opinion... which I am never shy about giving one way or the other. I have shopped various things they sell, and their prices are competitive on most things... I'm trusting the additional cost on the seeds will be worth it, if not I really haven't lost that much. Along with the drip I was able to pack more into my garden then usual, given I'll be using fertilizer injection as well... lots of first for this dirt farmer this year... Have lots to learn, but what else an I going to do at my age. :) That little kid sitting on my knee is a grown man now... time goes by quickly!

Go for it!

I got to see for myself the deer ate the leaves of my Baby Bubba Okra:-( Deer have 10,000 the olfactory senses as humans!

They can smell it a mile away!

I am NOR a vegetarian, and will never be, but I do love veggies. Well, MOST veggies... Okra??? If I found it invading my property I'd be digging it up, burning it, and whatever else it took to insure that it didn't spread. The fruits look a bit like small peppers, but they're not. They are sometimes quite spiny, like little cacti, but they're not. Cut one open and you learn that they are little noses - and it's allergy season. I'll pass...

Aww come on now! Okra is absolutely delicious!

You should be a lecturer in a college or university not a gardener. Talk to the point and demonstrate also.

Funny that you say that. He actually is a part-time biology instructor for our local four-year college.
