    Hearing that "Bob White Quail" in the background made me smile. We used to hear them out here when we moved here in 1998, but development has pushed them out. Have not heard one in years... Those Okree plants look like Dinosaur Kale with those stocky thick stalks.

      I heard it TOO! Thought I was hearing a mocking bird. Had to go back and listen close, but it was definitely a male Bob White Quail.😊

    Since 1968 ,,I have been growing okra every year here in North Carolina,,and have always pruned everything off the plant below the lowest pod of okra ,,thus it grows up taller and also bears later and more than it does if I did not prune.

    My Red Burgundy and Clemson Spineless are over 6 feet tall, and I only have been pruning the dead leaves. Jambalaya not as tall but producing good. Enjoy your content and I learn a lot from you; thanks!

    • @JohnDeWeese-lq4pf
      @JohnDeWeese-lq4pf Год назад

      I grow all three of those "Okreee" (Travis' pronunciation). I like the Red Burgundy best. Seems to take the pickling better. Red Clemson spineless just gets way too tall in NC but has about the same production as Jambalaya. I bought some of the Dwarf Cowhorn seeds from Travis. Put some in the ground a few days ago before we got the rain and wind from Idalia. Hope they grow as well as his does.

    Travis, are you going to put those squash on trellises or let them sprawl? Disease wise I am trying to figure out how to grow things in fall in the south? I am about to plant my fall cukes and squash on my trellises. Thank you

    • @LazyDogFarm

      Just going to let them go. They'll get some disease pressure, but sometimes we can outpace it with fertile soil and healthy plants.

      I haven't, but we are careful about rotating veggies that are susceptible to nematodes.
