Dear Fred, ...Okra grows almost wild here in Oklahoma....I watered from
beneath the plant and all my bushes grew lovely pods....had one crop
before hot weather in August and after the heat wave a whole new
harvest....I do not know what snake beans are Fred....I grew all kinds
of peppers ...and they fair bent the pepper bushes to the ground...in
future I will stake pepper plants.
