These plump, red and green pods have a rich, delicious okra flavor. In my field, they grew to above average heights of 8-feet tall on thick, deep-red stems, and produced for months! Hill Country Red Okra is said to have originated in the eastern portion of the mostly limestone Edwards Plateau in west-central Texas—also known as Texas Hill Country. This area has a large German population and influence, which meant they opposed secession from the Union during the Civil War, and also meant introducing the accordion to Tejano music. Okra is probably from West Africa, though some claim Ethiopia as the origin. Many believe enslaved Africans hid okra seeds in their hair on the forced journey across the Atlantic. Certainly, this crop is a taste of home for people of the African Diaspora. My partner Chris (another Truelove Seeds farmer based at the Sankofa Farm at Bartram's Garden) is from Mississippi and is an okra fanatic. This is his favorite variety hands-down, but cannot commit to growing only one type, so I isolated this crop to produce true seed.

Days to maturity: 60-70

Seeds per pack: 40

Germination rate: 93% on 10/01/2025

Planting / harvesting notes

Sow seeds of this heat-loving plant indoors 2-3 weeks before transplanting, which should happen several weeks after the last frost, or when soil temperatures stay above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Soak seeds overnight for quicker germination, and plant 3/4" deep. Space 18" in rows 12-18" apart. Beds should be at least 3' apart as plants tend to bush out widely. Okra likes fertile, well-drained soil with added compost.

We harvest and eat this okra when the pods are 2-3" long and still tender. You can harvest it up to 5-6", but may find them a bit woody. Can be eaten red or green! When growing new varieties of okra, we encourage harvesting at all different stages until you get a sense of the best size for eating. We even eat them raw in the field as a test!


Seed keeping notes

Okra is insect pollinated. Isolate different okra varieties by at least 1/8th of a mile (or up to 1/2 mile if you are truly concerned about seed purity) to avoid unwanted cross pollination. Allow pods to grow large and turn brown and woody (your neighbors may look at you funny). When you can hear the seeds rattle, harvest the pod and allow it to dry further on trays in the sun in a dry place. Remove seeds and use breath, wind, or fans to remove bits of chaff.

Easy Peasy to Set Up
Style: WF-3823
This is probably the sixth printer I've purchased, of which this is the second Epson. My first Epson, which is an earlier WF version, is probably at least ten years old and still operates the same as it did when I first purchased it at least ten years ago. The other three printers were a very well known brand, which I won't mention here, and none survived more than a couple of years each. This brand new Epson WF 3823 took about two weeks to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. It was very easy to set up as it took me all of four minutes to connect to my network and print out my first page. And for $80, I feel like they gave it away.

Great Home Printer
Style: WF-3823
I have only had this printer for two days now, but I love it! It was very easy to set up. There are no cables from the computer to the printer, because it is done wirelessly. I had some jobs ready for copying. The first feature I tried out was the top multi page feeder. I put in 18 pages and decided I wanted to copy them from one sided to two sided. The touchscreen was extremely user-friendly, and it was easy to figure out how to go from one to two sided. As it started copying the papers, it worked quickly for a home printer, and The printer/copier pulled the first page back and printed on the back and then went onto the next page without any problems. The next job I needed done was taking two pages and printing them on the same side of one page. Again, I was impressed with how easy it was to find exactly what I needed to do on the touchscreen, And then what made it even better was it automatically adjusted the size that I needed in order to fit both papers on one side of a single page. The third job I had to do was scan a document in order to email it to somebody. I do not have it set it up to scan directly to an email, but that is an option you can set up. I had the system set up on my computer to scan and send it to my computer. I was surprised how easy that was to do as well. I also had to print two documents from two different phones, and it was a breeze. I am extremely pleased with this product, and I would recommend anybody who needs a simple home printer/copier to look into this product.

Good budget phone with a great display
Color: Gray
The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a solid choice for everyday use. The 6.7” AMOLED screen with 90Hz looks bright and smooth, perfect for watching videos and browsing. Performance is decent for daily tasks, and the 50MP camera takes nice photos for the price. Keep in mind it’s not built for heavy gaming, but for calls, apps, and social media it works very well. Big, vibrant display Good camera for the price Not for heavy use Overall: great value for a budget smartphone.

Budget-Friendly Powerhouse With a Premium Feel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Color: Black, Color: Black
I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G for a little while now and honestly this phone surprised me in a good way. For the price, you get a huge 6.7” AMOLED display with smooth 90Hz refresh rate that makes videos, scrolling, and everyday use feel way more premium than expected. The screen is bright, colorful, and looks great indoors or outside. The phone runs smoothly for daily tasks like social media, YouTube, calls, browsing, and multitasking. Battery life has been excellent and easily lasts all day for me. The included 25W fast charger is a huge bonus because it charges up pretty quickly. The 50MP camera also takes really solid photos in good lighting with nice detail and color. For an affordable unlocked phone, I was impressed with the overall camera quality. Another thing I liked is the factory unlocked dual SIM support which makes it super convenient for travel or separate work and personal lines. Build quality feels sturdy, the black finish looks clean, and the splash resistance gives extra peace of mind. If you want a reliable Samsung phone without spending flagship money, this is an easy recommendation. Great value, dependable performance, and way more features than I expected at this price point.
