I'm thinking next year of planting a half acre of okra in a summer plot lasting into fall plot. Question will the deer eat leaves and pods or will they eat the stalk? I'm thinking if they won't let it get up to baring size maybe putting a barrier up. Anybody tried it or got garden experience with deer?

Maybe the okra is for him and not the deers. I like some fried okra!

deer will eat okra, they eat mine at the house.

They eat kudzu why not plant that ? Most folks plant peas, soy beans and corn. We already know they love those.

I've heard people complaining about deer staying in their okra all summer. I got plenty of dormant plots to try different things in, it was just a thought. I usually cut most of the leaves off mine and it keeps barring til frost I thought if it was the pods they go after it might make a good summer plot. I would drag it in and top sow with clover.

I haven't priced okra seed, but I strongly suspect you could plant sun hemp, lab lab, soy beans, or about a hundred other things that will produce more forage, withstand browsing better, and yield higher protein levels for less money.

I had some in a garden one year and didn't get a pod cause deer ate it all. I've often wanted to try some of that summer game bird plot mix for deer. I think it's got millet, sunflowers, beans, all kinds of stuff deer like too.

Deer mow my okra down like a bush hog every year. You could absolutely use it like corn for beans and peas to climb, but it grows slow until it gets hot.

deer are just a different looking goat. They will eat anything. This is true, especially if you fertilize it. which is why I try to plant things that are affordable, browse resistant, and beneficial.
