New okra sux!

[Chic Rustler]

The okra on the left is what i grew last year. They are high production very tasty and make the best pickled okra. The one on the right is what they gave me at the feed store when i asked for the same okra. They dont produce well, wilt in the heat and make terrible pickled okra. Just a jar of slime.

Does anyone know the name for the okra on the left so i dont make the same mistake again?

I don't know what the one on the left is - but Clemson Spineless is a great "go to" okra. it has never failed to produce well and abundantly. I'm growing a different one this year too - and it looks suspiciously like the one on the right. It's called "Cowhorn Okra" or something like that. The jury is still out on that one....

Ive tried several differnt kinds myself and have to agree with FEM. Good ole reliable Clemson Spineless heriloom is the go to. The one you have on the left looks like it may be Clemson Spineless.
