Fife Creek - Okra
This highly productive variety produces light-green, curved fruit about 20 cm long. They remain tender longer than most other varieties. It is said to have been given to the Fife family by a Creek Indian woman.
Okra fruits contain a mucilaginous substance used to thicken soups, sauces and stews.

Germination of okra can be temperamental. Soak seeds for 24 h before sowing, then sow in pots at 25°C, 6 weeks before planting, after the last frosts. Transplant at 30 or 60 cm intervals, in all directions, depending on the size of the variety.
Okra likes to grow in full sun, in deep, rich soil. It benefits from relatively abundant watering!
