Okra usually self pollinates. I have planted different varieties on 40" row spacing and noticed that the pods produced were true to their own characteristics. However, if you have any bees in the area, whether they be honey or bumble, etc., they are going to carry pollen from one plant to another. No way to avoid that.

I generally don't worry too much about it because seeds produced from cross-pollination are going to produce a plant that is characteristic of one or the other parent, not both. So, you'll get true okra, you just won't know which one until you see the pods. I don't know if I mentioned, but Jade has turned out to be my favorite and can't be beat when the pods are 3-4".

Thanks for that info.

I am going to cut some tree limbs that should make the sun area larger out there. We are excited about the new garden area.
