Check this out...(sorry a little blurry)



Do you see those little clear beads on the underside of the leaves? Looks like drops of water, but they arent! Is this normal? Ive never grown okra before. The plants are 3 weeks old.

Im not really thinking it's anything bad, just kinda neat!

No, they arent "alive" (that I can tell!) And they arent outside yet.

Maybe some kind of sap??? I can pick them off and they stay intact so Im sure it's not water droplets.

Ill try to get a better pic, my camera needs to be charged and I could only get that one before it died!

They sprouted 3 weeks ago on Wednesday, and they are still inside, under the flourescents.

So bizarre! They pop off like little beads. I just checked, none on my tomatoes.

SpringFeaver! Are APHID EGGS anything like little beads of sap???!!!!??!! Because I found some of the cute little buggers on my okra, tomato AND my moonflowers tonght! I washed off all the little beads and the other affected plants.

Says aphids feed on the sap so if they feed then there might be sap droplets..?
Continue washing the leaves.. Hold on still looking

I can't remember exactly what it is..

Yes, aphids' do give off a sticky sweet sap,
and ants will "farm them" for it...
*and it will/can cause a mildew to form later...*

but what I think it is, some form of perspiration
that transpires from the leaves...
I remember reading something...
but can not remember were I read it...

Karen,
Alot of times when you see Aphids',
it's something "wrong" with the plant..

If a plant has all the correct growing requirement, they will be fine and strong..
If for some reason a growing requirement is off,
or say, even tooo much... that stress's the plant,
which then in turn makes the plant send out signals that something is stressing it.. and that message calls out the bad bugs...

It could mean that the plant is getting too much nitrogen, that's usually the cause..
Too much nice, lush green growth...
Or even the liquid fertilizers, or the combo of two...
sometimes it could just be the dirt is too rich..
Heck, it just be the plant is cold..*okra love the warmth/heat*

Can you tell us what the plant is growing in?
And where you've got it??

I don't know much about growing them...
I only grew them last year for the first time..
And only planted like 6 plants, and one sprouted..
Then I gave the whole six pack to my mom, and then all of a sudden, 3 more popped up..
so, she had them, and they got pretty tall, and she got a few, but I am not that firmilar with them to say...

I grew them basically for the flower...
They are pretty!

Those look perfectly healthy to me. When you plant, try to grow extra by direct sowing seed, if you have some room. It takes a good patch to get a really good harvest, but it looks like you're well on your way!
