Vigorous plants give unbelievable yields, producing earlier and longer, and the 3-1\/2 to 5 inch pods are darker green and more tender with less fiber build-up as they mature. Rich okra flavor will convert even non-okra lovers into trying it in hot dishes, gumbo, even pickled and fried.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCajun Delight is an early variety with uniform, dark green tender pods that are slow to build up fiber. The plants are of medium height with an open canopy and very high yield potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn All America selection for 1997, 'Cajun Delight' okra has good-looking, dark green pods that start bearing early and stay tender throughout the season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHybrid Cajun Delight makes lots of okra, often double what you could grow from an open pollinated variety. And if you think okra's too slimy to consider, or that fried okra has too many calories, grow this one and change your attitude. The pods have a mild taste, less fiber than other okras, and grill up great. Marinate them in lemon or lime juice and add to vegetable kabobs for crispy skins and creamy insides that'll make anyone a believer in this delicious vegetable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant okra seed in full sun at the same time you plant hot peppers. Soak the seed for six hours or more in warm water, then plant two seeds every six inches. Keep the seedbed moist for about one week. Once up and growing, you'll be impressed with this okra's speed and beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese plants make a tall open canopy just in time to shade a part of the garden on summer's hottest days. The shade is definitely dense enough to sit under, and no weeds will trouble you there, either, so spread a blanket and make yourself comfortable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOkra is a hot weather vegetable. Okra seeds are hard. Soak them in water overnight before planting to speed germination. Space the seed about 6 inches apart and about 1\/2\" in the row and thin seedlings to the recommended spacing, or plant groups of two or three seeds at the recommended final spacing and thin seedling groups to one plant. \u003cbr\u003e Okra seedlings are sensitive to cool, wet soils and cool air temperatures. Acid soils result in poor pod development. \u003cbr\u003eA second planting of okra seeds about 6 weeks after the first planting ensures plenty of tender pods in late summer and fall when production on the\u003cbr\u003eearly planting is declining. Cut back tall okra plants to a height of 3 to 4 feet to promote branching, to make harvesting easier, and to renew the plants. Side dress with a nitrogen fertilizer at the same time.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Velldonetradellc","offers":[{"title":"10 Seeds","offer_id":43682079211609,"sku":"Q2333TE","price":1.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7744\/9049\/files\/Output_140.jpg?v=1784279250","url":"https:\/\/velldonetradellc.com\/products\/cajun-delight-hybrid-okra-seeds","provider":"Velldonetradellc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
