| Great okra. Tender, sweet, and crunchy. It\'s not 80 days - it starts after about 65 days for me in Logan, Utah. |

| This is a beautiful, vigorous, healthy plant that has light lemon yellow blossoms quickly followed by very pale green fruit. The plant eventually grows to about 6 feet tall. It is a prolific producer over a long season. In my garden, Silver Queen produced okra until the end of October. The fruit have a sweet taste. |
