Backyard Bounty: APPSTEM MEDIA LLC Brings Non-GMO Okra Seeds to Home Gardeners

WALNUT CREEK, CA – October 26, 2023 – Forget those slimy, store-bought okra pods! APPSTEM MEDIA LLC, a California-based company dedicated to providing quality seeds and gardening resources, is making it easier than ever for home gardeners to grow their own fresh, flavorful okra. They’re doing it with premium, non-GMO okra seeds, and gardeners are already noticing the difference. “We saw a real gap in the market,” explains a spokesperson for APPSTEM MEDIA LLC, located at 41 Amberwood Ln, Walnut Creek, CA, 94598-2357. “People want to grow their own food, but they’re often hesitant with okra. They picture that tough, fibrous stuff from the supermarket. We’re here to show them just how amazing homegrown okra can be.” What’s the Big Deal About Okra? Okra, also known as ladies' fingers, isn't just a Southern US staple anymore. It’s gaining popularity across the country – and the world – for good reason. It's packed with nutrients – think Vitamin C, Vitamin K, magnesium, and fiber – and it’s incredibly versatile in the kitchen. “People think of gumbo, and that’s great! But you can roast okra, fry it, pickle it, add it to stir-fries, even use it as a coffee substitute!” says the APPSTEM representative. “It’s a really fun plant to grow, too. The flowers are beautiful – kind of like hibiscus – and the pods develop quickly.” Why Non-GMO Matters to APPSTEM MEDIA LLC (and Gardeners) In a world of genetically modified crops, APPSTEM MEDIA LLC is committed to offering seeds that haven’t been altered in a lab. “We believe in letting nature do its thing,” they explain. “Non-GMO seeds give gardeners peace of mind, knowing they're growing a truly natural product. Plus, these seeds can be saved and replanted year after year, which is fantastic for sustainability.” The company emphasizes that growing non-GMO okra allows gardeners to enjoy a purer, more authentic flavor. “Some folks say that GMOs can affect the taste and texture of vegetables. We want our customers to experience okra as it’s meant to be – tender, flavorful, and free from any artificial modifications.” APPSTEM’s Okra Seeds: What Makes Them Special? These aren’t just any old okra seeds. APPSTEM MEDIA LLC sources their seeds from trusted growers who specialize in open-pollinated, non-GMO varieties. This means the seeds will produce plants that are true to type, meaning you’ll get consistent results year after year. “We’ve tested a lot of different varieties,” says the APPSTEM spokesperson. “We’ve chosen seeds that are known for producing high yields of tender, flavorful pods. We’re talking about okra that’s so good, you’ll want to eat it straight off the plant!” Specifically, the seeds are from a variety carefully selected for: Early maturity: Get harvesting sooner! High yield: More okra per plant! Tenderness: Say goodbye to tough, fibrous pods! Disease resistance: Healthier plants, less hassle! Adaptability: Grows well in a variety of climates. Growing Okra: It’s Easier Than You Think Forget the myth that okra is difficult to grow. APPSTEM MEDIA LLC makes it easy with clear, concise growing instructions included with every seed packet. Here are a few quick tips: Sunlight: Okra loves full sun – at least 6-8 hours per day. Soil: Well-drained soil is a must. Amend with compost for best results. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Harvesting: Pick the pods when they're young and tender – usually 2-4 inches long. Regular harvesting encourages more production! Warmth: Okra needs warm weather to thrive. Don’t plant until the soil has warmed up. “A lot of people get intimidated by the idea of starting seeds,” says the APPSTEM representative. “But it’s really quite simple. Just start the seeds indoors a few weeks before the last frost, or sow them directly into the garden once the soil has warmed up.” More Than Just Seeds: A Community of Gardeners APPSTEM MEDIA LLC isn’t just about selling seeds. They’re building a community of gardeners who are passionate about growing their own food. “We have a really active social media presence,” explains the spokesperson. “We share tips, recipes, and photos from our customers. It’s a great place to connect with other gardeners and get inspired.” The company also offers a wealth of resources on its website, including articles on seed starting, gardening techniques, and recipes for using your homegrown okra.
