Removed Lower Leaves from some Okra

Gardening

8/4/2021 – The Olde Farmer’s Almanac recommends removing the lower leaves from Okra to make it produce sooner. The Gold Coast Okra is beginning to produce but slowly so removed the lowest 2-3 leaves and stems. Several stalks on the north end of the row of Gold Coast were not removed to provide a comparison. This is an experiment.
