As a comment about Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus 'Emerald'), farmerdill wrote:

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.

Dillard, I think you've sold me old Emerald okra. I've planted Clemson Spineless for the last two years but it tends to "get away from me" while I'm waiting for enough pods to grow to eating size. <sigh> From what I've read and from what you shared here and elsewhere this sounds like maybe a good candidate for next year's small crop. Thanks for the info on it!
