OK, I finally found ONE negative thing about Stewart's Zeebest Okra. I can't get the old plants out of the ground!

We've had a couple of hard freezes and I'm clearing out my garden. I've been pulling 7-foot tomato plants and everything else up by the roots, no problem. But the Stewart's Zeebest plants aren't coming up - no way.

I've taken clippers and trimmed them down to stumps, and now I'll get the tractor out and scoop the stumps out with the bucket - but I've NEVER had to do that with any annual garden plant, ever. These were some real impressive, and productive, multi-branched okra "trees" and I'm sure looking forward to growing a lot more of that variety next year!
