Who would ever dream that the prettiest plant in your patio containers would be an okra?! Bull Dog is just magnificent, its color a shade between orange and red, vibrant and spreading through the axil and stem as well as the fruit itself. And as a bonus, this vegetable tastes as good as it looks!
Bull Dog is an Asian variety, with very meaty, succulent pods that develop with a uniform curved shape, finishing fast on sturdy, upright, well-branched plants. It's quite a productive variety, so if you like to can your harvest as well as enjoy it fresh, this is the one to grow.
Okra is a warm-weather plant, soaking up full sunshine and thriving in any ordinary, well-drained garden soil. Start seeds indoors (4 to 6 weeks before the soil warms) everywhere but the hottest climates, soaking the seeds for 24 hours before planting them. Transplant when night temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees F, spacing the plants 10 to 12 inches apart. Fertilize the soil before planting and again when the plants begin to flower. If you want to pick the fruit for eating, they are ready to harvest when just 3 inches long, or may be left to mature to their full size.
