My grandmother pronounced okra that way (Ok-ree). Ppl pronounce it that way due to the southern accent and broken languages. The correct way is Ow-kruh 😊
I truly believe the reason some pronounce it okree, is because of the southern country dialect, especially those ftom the Appalachian area. My grandparents were from Kentucky, and almost all the words that ended with an a, they pronouced with an "e" sound. Like Floridee, Kanaugee, & okree. Since okra was mostly originally grown in southern areas, it just makes since thats why the old timers pronounced it that way.
I have started lately going ahead and cutting my lower leaves off of my stalks when they are about the size that you have, it seems to promote faster growth as far as height wise and seems to start setting vegetables faster.
I got 7 Clemson spineless plants here in central FL. They have been doing great 3-4 ft tall full of huge pods putting out more than I can eat everyday. I'm gonna get some of the hybrids and try them.
Yeah, Okra grows very well in Fla. I have been doing well with Okra in large pots here in Upstate New York I keep the seedlings/potted plants warm indoors till early summer
I"m glad i'm not the only one to call it "okry". I really love you channel, your humor and your accent. As someone from East Tennessee I appreciate you don't try to change your "talk" when you are presenting to the public. Us southern folk can be county and have intelligence. I also enjoy your review of different variety of seeds and not only talk about them but show the actual difference as well in your garden. I am taking notes for next year lol!
An older gentleman told me to cut the leaf where I harvested a pod. I have been doing this for 40 years and it seems to work fine. Makes it easier to get down the rows for harvesting, He always planted 4 rows about 200' long and gave okra to his neighbors and people in need.
I've grown several strains of okra and my favorite so far is emerald. It is a thinner okra, but the plants are large and thick. Mine are over 9 feet tall right now.
Okra seeds are viable for 1 to 3 years. We don't always know how old the seeds are that we buy. Plan on them being older and save some new from your own crop. Thanks for the nice video Travis. Your garden looks great. I am going to guerrilla garden my okra. I am a truck driver.
Some people hate okra coz they think it is slimey and taste like spit.. put chick pea powder when cooking to get rid of slimeyness and always combine it with green peppers and tomatoes..great combination..
I'm growing Hill Country Red this year in central Texas. It's that star of David stubby type. I'll go back to thinner ones in the future. I grew burgundy one year, and didn't think it had much flavor.
@@gardeningwithhoss I planted many different varieties this year, one of them Hill Country Red. It makes stout vigorous plants and I had 99% germination direct seeded. However it does produce slowly and the pods are large diameter. I mostly like pickled okra and very few fit into a pint jar. I will be freezing these to fry but the growing season is long here in Florida, my freezer will be full of them by the end of July. Less of them next year and more of the slender varieties.
I direct sowed some okra here in Canada (Toronto area) about 10 days ago. It was 85-90F when I sowed them, then it dropped to 40F which must've throw the seeds for a loop... but now it's back to 70-75F with a forecast full of 85-90F and they just started to germinate. I also have some that I started in the greenhouse that are starting their second set of leaves ready to transplant soon.
My Clemson spineless has a bigger bush this year than usually with a lot of side shoots I planted it near the lunar eclipse in May, i wondered if that had something to do with it
Such a nice show, Jambalaya is my favorite here in Florida where I live for the same reasons you say, thanks for all the work you do on your channel !!
Geaux Man Geaux. Hi Boss your black dirt looks like mine in Southeastern Louisiana. Enjoyed your show. I once planted 1500 Jubilee #2 Watermelon in cups, mounted on sheets of plywood, until they were over 3 weeks old and had runner's, the day I planted the 30 acres of the same watermelon. Once the"Signs" was all in line ya know. My 1500 were going to give me 2000 or more before the other folks could sale any, establishing my years products being sold. Getting a jump on the other farmers sailing too the same store's. LoL Much too my dismay they all produced the first saleable Mellon's on the exact same day. Over 3 weeks of dragging 4 x 8 sheets inside and out side every day., watching the daily rain storms, dragging, reading poetry, named a bunch of them. Sang Waylon Jennings and Willie fer um. You didn't miss anything by not betting on the Jump Method, my option. 🤣🤣👍🙏💪👊
My preference of okra's height is different. I planted them in Fall and let them over winter. After pruning in Spring, the okra took off and turning into okra bushes with multiple stem plants. Each of my okras has average 10 stems. Each stem is equal with an okra plant in this clip. They reached about 45 inch wide, 4 feet tall. So I had only 3 okras survived the winter ( 6 okras germinated from about 25 five year old seeds), and I harvested almost 200 pods out of each okra bush. The yield increased about 7 fold comparing to the ones that I planted in the summer before which were about 6 ft tall and had one main stem and one of two substems.
Many plants considered " annual plants" like okras, bell peppers, other kinds of peppers, some " annual vines of gourds.... even tomatoes can be overwintered. They grow in the US as annual, because they usually killed by the coldness. Some of those, like tomatoes grow very fast, so people don't mind to start over, Okras grow very slow at the beginning, so if you can overwintered them in a greenhouse or in the house, you can start the new growing season ahead. Some people in the states have been overwintered tomato plants in ages. A few video clips of those are still available on YT. Okras grow much slower than tomato plants in adult states, and they don't transplant well, so be careful when you dig them out, meaning don't damage roots, cutting off some leaves to save them energy, keep them in optimal conditional. That's when you dig the okras out when they are big and already have pods. You 'll have to prune them much smaller. It much easier when they are still small ( planted too late in the season), so when you dig them out to overwintered them, you don't damage the roots system. Still, you need pruning. ' Some vines like varied kinds of gourds can also be used that method. Like okras, when they start growing again when the warm season, they all have big trunks and many stems ( young okras don't have many stems if you don't prune them). In the new growing season next year, they don't grow as fast, but can be very productive due to the amounts of stems they have.
In my house, mom from West Virginia it was pronounced: Oh-Ker. I never knew any other pronunciation until I was grown and went to school/college. No less delicious then than it is now, fresh is best. Now we live in cool spring and summer, so this is good information. New greenhouse up in 1-2 weeks, hope we can catch up.
I have a neighbor that grows what we call longhorn okra. May be called long pod also. Plants grow to14 ft.by end of season and stalks are like trees. If spaced right. He feeds the whole community with 5 rows. Pods are 18 to 21 inches long and still tender. Pods are shaped like a longhorn thus the name.
✅Great video for the Garden library + OKRIE is a Beautiful plant The hibiscus flowers are gorgeous in the morning. This year I had trouble with ants on my okra I presumed it’s due to ALL of the RAINFALL late this summer. D. E. did the trick. between the rainy days.
LOL, you left out my winner, here in Texas. Clemson spineless out produces everything here. Cowhorn runs a close second and jambalaya doesn't even come close to either one of them.
TRAVIS, how tall were your plants when you put them out in the garden? I started okra in toilet paper tubes this year. It is just over 1 inch tall. I am in the Southern California mountains and our soil just got good and warm. Happy belated birthday.
The Jambalaya transplants were only about 2-3" tall. The others were at least twice that tall. Here's the video showing us putting them in the ground: ruclips.net/video/9ZH7VgWikl0/видео.html

Just makes it easier to get in there and harvest the okra without getting hit and stung by all the leaves. I've grown them on double rows before with pretty close plant spacing, but it makes harvesting a little slower for sure.
Southern slang often replaces the A with Y. I live in a town that ends in A. Old timers replace the A with Y and it allows the speaker to select a deeper cohesion with the listener.
My husband loved the Slingblade impression. Lol! He listens in the background. Just curious, since GA is right next to AL, have yall grown Alabama Red Okra? I'm growing okra for the first time and went with Alabama Red since I am in AL. I assumed it would do well here. So far so good.

Hi. My "Red" has- RED and SUPER LARGE (Wide) leaves but the pods are EXTRA large- (Stubby). They stay tender longer and bigger(and that's great) but not long and slender like yours. What happened?
Hey guys, off subject but I just ordered 8 different pumpkin seeds from hoss. My older daughter is having an emotional time, visited and saw how much gardening I am doing and expressed how great it would be for her and my grandkids if I had a pumpkin patch. REALLY want to succeed in granting this magical thing for them this year. I don't want it to fail. Any advice on main problems to look for or growing tips? Side note, everything has been hand dug and hand watered so I don't have the drip irrigation to fertilize with. Thanks for any advice on this
Travis, any suggestions on what type to grow in Northeastern Kentucky? It's 6b. I've never had it before and would like to grow and eat my first here on our farm.
I've had success growing Clemson Spineless in zone 6B. You have to pick it at 2 to 3 inches though or it gets tough. In the past I've direct sewed but this year I am trying starting my seeds inside first and also trying burgandy okra which is also supposed to be fine for us to grow, is more prolific, and stayed tender up to 5 or 6 inches.
We save the seed on somethings. Others we do not, just depending on the seed. Since you cant save Hybrid seeds it will not matter too much with them planted close.
In Louisiana we say okra my grandmother was 97 when she passed she said okra not okree i guess it's all from where you from just like some day idea and some say idear even though they're isn't a R In idea which i can't stand 😂😂
I have planted 162 plants 3 times am getting only 22 to 39 plants, they sprout but can't get there little head out of seed pod and they die. Last batch soaked in water and got 100% little sprouts but only got 22 out of 162. What am I doing wrong?
o·kra early 18th century: a West African word, perhaps from the root nkru ; compare with nkran, the name of the town Europeanized as Accra. The name okra comes from the Gold Coast of Africa language twi, as "nkruman," and was gradually abridged to okra. The first use of the word okra (Alternatively; okro or ochro) appeared on 1679 in the Colony of Virginia, deriving from the Igbo word ọ́kụ̀rụ̀.[7] The word gumbo was first recorded to be used in American vernacular around 1805, deriving from Louisiana Creole,[8] but originates from either the Umbundu word ochinggômbo[9] or the Kimbundu word ki-ngombo.[10] In Cuba and Puerto Rico, the vegetable is referred to as quimbombó and is used in dishes such as quimbombó guisado (stewed okra), a dish very similar to Southern gumbo.[11][12] Despite the fact that in most of the United States the word gumbo often refers to the dish, gumbo, many places in the Deep South still use it to refer to the pods and plant as well as many other variants of the word found across the African diaspora in the Americas.[13]
Wrong.... it's derived from the Igbo name "okulu" or "okuru" depending on dialect. More Igbo were transported to southern USA than any other African ethnicity and with it went their food, music and many other aspects
We have a variety called Red Snapper that is awesome and resistant to Leaf Curl Virus. We're out now but will have more next year. You can get them here: hosstools.com/product/red-snapper-tomato/

Have you already put some fertilizers for the theesse okra plants,,??
As we mentioned in the video, we don't fertilize them. Just incorporate some good compost into the soil pre-plant, and let them do their thing.
Was also reading that burgundy colored okri were originally the main okri grown in the south.
Very well could have been. There's a variety called "Alabama Red" that's pretty popular and have even seen one called "Talladega Pink."

Hey friend which is better cow manure or chicken manure when planting okra and rattle snake ,pole beans
Chicken is better. Cow Manure contains fewer nutrients than chicken manure.

You can give us a call at 1-888-672-5536 and we can take your order over the phone. We are here from 8:00am-5:00pm, Mon-Fri.
Have you tried frying them in a little bacon grease without breading them? Slice them as you would for breading.
Yes. That works well too.
Do you cover the soil with a mulch? Or leave bare? Wondering about weed control. Plot looks nice
We don't use mulch in the vegetable garden.

Try something like our Complete Organic Fertilizer beside the plants to make sure they are well-fed.
pronouncing does not matters, let's see how different types grow best okri or okra, love it.

I’m guessing you don’t save the seed? All those open pollinated varieties will mix.
We save the seed on somethings. Others we do not, just depending on the seed. Since you cant save Hybrid seeds it will not matter too much with them planted close.
could you make a video on how to buy things from you website? i have tried to purchase okra seeds from you , but its kind difficult for me.
We aren't able to ship seeds internationally.
I was watching the row by row show on bug spray. Do you need to retreat after a rain are just every 7 days. I need help with those bugs .
We try to not spray if it is going to rain that day or the next, so that may alter our schedule a bit. But usually every 7 days.
Okree is the way its pronounced in an appalachian accent. Source: lived in memphis tn and then knoxville tn, KY, VA, area for years.

Do you need to stake okra plants after they get over a few feet tall.
no

Hi which variety is best in france for Asian community to served thanks sir I will be wait for your answer bye
Jambalaya is our favorite because it is the most productive.
I have planted 162 plants 3 times am getting only 22 to 39 plants, they sprout but can't get there little head out of seed pod and they die. Last batch soaked in water and got 100% little sprouts but only got 22 out of 162. What am I doing wrong?
Gotta keep that seed starting mix nice and moist. As long as the soil temp is in the 70s, they should all germinate fine.
I'm planning on canning some okra this year. Which okra is great for pickling?
I like Jambalaya because it's best picked around 3-4" long. Good for stuffing into pint jars.

What do you use for catapiller problems?
B.t. or Spinosad work great, with spinosad having more broader control.
I call it a ringblade!!
Or Bhindi as my Indian ex used to know it as in Fiji. Supposedly it's from Ethiopia so we probably all have the wrong name.

o·kra
early 18th century: a West African word, perhaps from the root nkru ; compare with nkran, the name of the town Europeanized as Accra.
The name okra comes from the Gold Coast of Africa language twi, as "nkruman," and was gradually abridged to okra.
The first use of the word okra (Alternatively; okro or ochro) appeared on 1679 in the Colony of Virginia, deriving from the Igbo word ọ́kụ̀rụ̀.[7] The word gumbo was first recorded to be used in American vernacular around 1805, deriving from Louisiana Creole,[8] but originates from either the Umbundu word ochinggômbo[9] or the Kimbundu word ki-ngombo.[10] In Cuba and Puerto Rico, the vegetable is referred to as quimbombó and is used in dishes such as quimbombó guisado (stewed okra), a dish very similar to Southern gumbo.[11][12] Despite the fact that in most of the United States the word gumbo often refers to the dish, gumbo, many places in the Deep South still use it to refer to the pods and plant as well as many other variants of the word found across the African diaspora in the Americas.[13]
Wrong.... it's derived from the Igbo name "okulu" or "okuru" depending on dialect. More Igbo were transported to southern USA than any other African ethnicity and with it went their food, music and many other aspects
The type of okra I have is a fat one What type is it?
