This open-pollinated variety develops productive plants bearing bulky pale-green pods. Its relatively compact habit makes harvest convenient in a warm sunny vegetable garden, although plants can ultimately reach 4 to 6 feet. Large hibiscus-like flowers add ornamental interest and are edible, while young pods suit stir-fries, pickles, frying, soups, and stews. The Gaia packet contains 25 seeds certified organic by Ecocert Canada. This variety is ideal for gardeners seeking productive organic okra with clearly documented growing characteristics in warm regions and protected urban gardens. For practical seed starting, growing from seed succeeds best when the verified product depth, moisture and temperature guidance is followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoak seeds in warm water for no more than 12 hours, then sow indoors approximately six weeks before planting out. Plant 1\/2 inch deep in individual pots and maintain the medium at 18 to 32°C, optimally near 21°C. Emergence generally takes 2 to 12 days. Provide bright light after seedlings appear. Harden plants off gradually and transplant with the entire root ball after soil is warm and frost danger has passed. Allow 18 to 24 inches between plants and approximately 36 inches between rows. Handle roots gently because okra seedlings do not benefit from unnecessary transplant disturbance. Use the product details as a clear guide on how to start seeds while keeping the growing medium evenly moist, never saturated.

Ses fleurs crème, rappelant celles des hibiscus, sont suivies de gousses vertes allongées et côtelées. La sélection est appréciée pour ses gousses sans épines, à récolter jeunes pour profiter de leur tendreté. Prévoyez environ 56 à 60 jours jusqu’aux premières cueillettes dans des conditions favorables, avec un ralentissement possible lorsque la chaleur manque. Les semences de cette référence sont biologiques. Au Québec, un emplacement très ensoleillé et un départ protégé aident à mieux profiter de la courte saison chaude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommencez les semis dans des godets individuels au chaud ou semez directement lorsque la terre est vraiment réchauffée. Un trempage des graines pendant une nuit peut faciliter le départ. Semez à environ 1 cm (⅜ po) de profondeur et visez une température de sol de 24 à 32 °C (75 à 90 °F). Acclimatez les plants avant de les installer après les gels, sans briser leur motte. Espacez-les de 30 à 45 cm (12 à 18 po). Gardez une humidité régulière et une terre fertile mais drainante. Une planche surélevée peut améliorer la chaleur dans un jardin frais.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRécoltez les gousses lorsqu’elles mesurent environ 6 à 8 cm (2½ à 3 po), avant qu’elles deviennent coriaces. Visitez les plants souvent pendant les périodes chaudes, car les fruits grossissent rapidement. Coupez-les avec un outil propre sans déchirer la tige, puis cuisinez-les frais ou congelez-les selon une méthode adaptée. Le gombo convient aux mijotés, aux sauces et aux poêlées; sa texture peut épaissir les préparations humides. Les fleurs sont également comestibles, mais leur récolte réduit le nombre de fruits possibles. En grand contenant, cette variété demande un suivi de l’arrosage et une place assez chaude pour poursuivre sa production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Coast Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67772527935648,"sku":"OK101A","price":3.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}]}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3878\/5440\/collections\/semences-gombo-vert-bordeaux-potager.png?v=1792345376","url":"https:\/\/www.pepiniere.ca\/en\/collections\/okra-seeds.oembed?page=2","provider":"Pépinière.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
