Thank you Robert! I like the sound of the Louisiana Green Velvet. Will look for seeds here. I planted a variety this year. Some that I had from last year, mostly Clemson Spineless. They always grow so fast, I have a hard time keeping up with them before they get too big. I slice and roll the okra in cornmeal, then bag and freeze. Also make pickled okra. Your variety sounds like what I need. Thanks for the info!
My favorite catfish bait is Sonny's. I also use worms and minnows. :grin:
The seeds are often hard to find. I usually have to go to one of the few old time feed and seed stores and sometimes they don't have them. A couple of years ago I had to order some from some heirloom seed company and got 20 seeds for $5.00 and only 10 germinated. However, that was enough for my family. I have grown Clemson spineless and they turn woody so fast. The LGV seem to have a little bit more grace period on turning woody. Along with the longer pods and multiple branches, I have plenty of Okra to put into the freezer. I planted 12 plants this year, but only 9 survived.
I've never tried Sonny's. Guess I need to try it sometime.
Robert
