I am growing 3 different varieties of okra in my hoop house and they are thriving in 100° heat!!! The varieties are Eagle Pass, Jing Orange and Roberie. The production is impressive. By leaving the side vents open I get adequate insect pollination.
Our favorite way to enjoy our okra is by pickling. I prefer my pickled okra with dill, garlic, pickling spice, hot pepper, red pepper flakes, pickling salt and apple cider vinegar.
Enjoy! Yum!!!

I love pickled okra! I see it does well in the heat, but is it also drought tolerant? Or do you have to water it a lot?

Okra is very drought tolerant. Use drip irrigation and water as needed (when leaves drop from the stalk or leaves wilt.)
Thank you for visiting PapasGardens.
