π± A Little Behind the Scenes at Nithin's Farm β Okra!
Did you know that during peak season, okra needs to be picked almost every day? π±
We walk through the rows regularly and pick the tender pods while they're still young and at their best. If we wait too long, they can quickly become large, fibrous, and tough.
βοΈπ§οΈ Weather makes a big difference too!
The recent good rain has been a huge help to our plants after the dry weather. The moisture has given the okra a nice boost and helps keep the plants growing and producing.
But picking in this hot and humid weather isn't always easy! π₯΅π¦ The heat, humidity, and mosquitoes definitely make those daily trips through the okra field a little more challenging.
Still, we keep going β because fresh, tender okra takes daily attention and care. π±β€οΈ
