I grow two okra species. Abelmoschus callei (Nkruma tenten okra) and esculentus (Okinawa pink okra)
Other years I’ve had bad aphid problems, but this year, almost nothing. The Nkruma Tenten is grown in a place sheltered from high winds. The pink okra is shorter and tolerates wind better. Both of them need protection from bunnies or they will be chewed down. And both are in raised beds. Produce reliably, aren’t needy, tolerate extreme heat well. Can be companions with other veg.
