| Here's a link to "Cowhorn" Okra seeds. In my search I did see Longhorn Okra mentioned but I don't have time to do anymore research right now. Just Google it and you will find them. It looks like Longhorn is an heirloom. Greg |

I can't figure-out why people hide behind anonymity and won't share a little about themselves. These forums are a community of people with like interests and it's always interesting to get to know a little about them. Which reminds me...I need to update mine. Greg |

| puppylady, If you are afraid you will begin to receive lots of spam - you can always sign up for a free hotmail email account just to use on GardenWeb. I have used my regular email addy since I joined GW and have never received any extra spam. Made lots of new friends and many great exchanges. I grow Cowhorn okra. I purchase my seeds from Southern Exposure Seed. DL |

| I have a few pounds, Texas or Louisiana Long Hook, Long Horn or a number of names they call them. Old variety from the south. They have been around for many years. When the weather gets hot enough next year you soak them a couple days outdoors, as they will start to stink but when they start to sprout plant them in the ground. The plants get up to 8' or more and reach out a far. I don't plant them too far apart and let their branches reach past each other. If you get any that have shiny smooth skins I would cut the plant down. They don't seem to have a good taste, and when cooked they have a bad smell. The good ones are some of the best tasting okra I have ever had. I found that it doesn't matter how long they grow as long as they are picked by the third day after the blooms fall off. Let me know if I can be of any help. SESEB pgwal1936@sbcglobal.net |
