"I can't believe the other reviews. I'll have to try it again. The germination was great. They were up within days but they just died off. Maybe it was the weather."

"This is a tremendous producer here in Houston. We love it. The best way to cook it is to slice it in half, coat it with olive oil and grill it till the tips are dark brown and crunchy. Let cool a little and serve with salt and lime wedges. Even my kids gobble this up."

"Clemson spineless okra is so hardy and drought resistant, our healthiest plants (the largest and greenest) were at the end of the aisle where our soaker hose did not reach! Germination rate was nearly 100%. Please pick before the pods are over 5 inches long for best taste. Pods grow quickly, and you must have a plan for freezing or canning if you intend to plant more than just a few plants.
We filled a freezer with the bright green pods that we washed, patted dry and froze whole in quart sized freezer bags. All winter, we cut up the frozen okra and made great soups; tomatoes and okra (with our frozen stewed heirloom tomatoes... mmmm!); and fried okra. We planted Clemson Spineless again in 2008, and we're very pleased."
