Clemson Spineless 80 Okra Seeds

Wait until soil temperatures hit at least 65°F, ideally 70°F+, before direct sowing Okra seeds outdoors. Clemson Okra seeds are planted half an inch below the soil surface, 18–24 inches apart with  36 inches between rows. For a jump start, you can plant seeds indoors 3–4 weeks before the last frost date, just know Okra resents root disturbance, so use biodegradable pots you can plant whole.  

Tip: soak Okra Clemson Spineless seeds for 12-18 hours before planting for fast germination.

Full sun is must for Clemson Spineless Okra seeds to germinate properly. Anything less than six-eight hours, and the plants become leggy and make fewer pods. The soil must be fertile, loamy, and have good drainage. Water consistently during establishment, then back off slightly once plants are knee-high — brief dry spells are fine, but prolonged drought during flowering cuts your yield hard. The ideal pH range is 5.8-7.0. Mix the soil with compost prior to planting, instead of using fertilizer.

After planting, Clemson Spineless 80 vegetables need minimal maintenance.  The main job is picking. Miss a day and pods go from tender to woody. The 2–3 inches pods should be harvested daily using a knife or scissors to not harm the stem and the branch. Consider wearing gloves in case you have an allergic reaction to the tiny hairlike structures. A monthly feeding with a balanced fertilizer is necessary to ensure consistent yields throughout the season.
