Fife Creek Cowhorn Okra, an old heirloom from the Fife family, is a unique variety of okra known for its impressive size and productivity. Belonging to the Malvaceae family, this plant is a staple in many Southern gardens due to its heat tolerance and ability to thrive in warm climates. The pods of Fife Creek Cowhorn Okra can grow up to 14 inches long; despite their size, they remain tender and flavorful, making them perfect for a variety of culinary uses.
This okra variety is ideal for frying, pickling, and adding to soups and stews; its mild flavor and smooth texture complement a range of dishes. Gardeners appreciate Fife Creek Cowhorn Okra for its high yield and continuous production throughout the growing season. To cultivate this plant successfully, it requires full sun and well-drained, fertile soil; regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to ensure healthy growth and abundant pod production.
For best results, sow the seeds directly in the garden after the last frost; space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow adequate room for growth. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more pods; pick the pods when they are young and tender, typically around 3 to 5 inches long, for the best taste and texture. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of Fife Creek Cowhorn Okra throughout the growing season.

How to Save Seeds
Usually self pollinating however can occur within less than 1 mile. So proceed with caution on planting more than one variety. Let pods harden on stalk; they will become woody and then seeds are ready. Simply take them off pod and crack open for getting seeds out for saving.
