Not the most productive okra that I have grown, but satisfactory. Susceptible to nematodes.

Similar to Beck's big Buckhorn, but pushed primarily as an ornamental. Large pods.

My favorite of all time. However there are several versions of this variety. The one I like was developed by the Campbell Soup Company around 1950. It has round smooth green pods that appear fuzzy. A velvet type. Very productive, outstanding flavor, hold tenderness longer than most. Large plant which will exceed 7 feet.

Very large plant, long pods that are edible at a larger stage than most. If topped at about 4 ft it grows into a nice bushy shrub. A good performer here.

This hybrid was not a great performer for me. Pods were okay, but yield was less than Clemson Spineless

Pale green standard pod on 3-4 foot plant. Early maturing. Flavor is similar to the old White Velvet, but a much smaller plant.

An early maturing variety with 3-4 foot plants. Good flavor and productive in cooler climates where southern varieties struggle. I grew it and Blondie successfully in Virginia's New River Valley in the 70's and 80's.

A short fat pod that actually tastes good. Easy to pick as it snaps easily from the vine. Great ornamental for dried flower arrangements.

Very hearty plant I picked up from Annies Annuals

June-bearing strawberry. Although listed as a zone 8 or 9, it is commonly grown throughout zone 10 Southern California gardens.

Can be grown in 4" of standing water. Can help control erosion on stream and pond banks. Will self-seed. Plant in a tub sunk in mud or water to control spread by rhizomes.

can be grown with up to 3" of water over crown

In my youth this was known as the "Bermuda" onion. It grew reasonably well in Virginia, but tended to be somewhat small and a poor keeper. It is a sweet white onion, which tends to be flat in shape.

Tough as nails. Was in a much smaller container for the last four years and survived two years of bad drought without a flinch. (Well, maybe a brown leaf or two, but no flinching!)

Rare little ficus that shingles. New foliage is a dark rusty-burgundy, older foliage dark green, all covered with hair.
