Growing Tips:

• Planting: Start seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 65°F (18°C). Sow seeds ½ inch deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in rows.
• Spacing: Space rows 3 feet apart to allow ample room for the plants to grow and for easy harvesting.
• Sunlight: Red Burgundy Okra thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and pod production.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Incorporate compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil and promote healthy plant growth.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water deeply and regularly to support strong root development and continuous pod production.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced organic fertilizer or compost tea every 3-4 weeks to encourage vigorous growth and a bountiful harvest.

Harvesting Tips:

• When to Harvest: Harvest the pods when they are 3-5 inches long, tender, and easy to snap off the plant. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production.
• How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the pods from the plant. Wear gloves when harvesting to protect your hands from the small spines on the plant.
• Storage: Store harvested okra in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, blanch the pods and freeze them for later use.

• Pickling: The striking red pods make beautiful pickled okra, adding a pop of color and flavor to your pickling jars. Serve pickled okra as a tangy snack or garnish for cocktails.
• Roasting and Grilling: For a simple and delicious side dish, toss okra pods in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast or grill until tender. The red color adds visual appeal to your plate.
