<OT> Terry, I'm not sure where you are, But OKRA loves the heat to get started, it will
make until frost if you get a good start. I put it out ( transplant ) 1-1/2 months after my tomatoes.
I start it in seed starters in a small hot house then move it after the soil gets warm.
You can start right in the rows ( if you wait until things warm up )
If you send me a "PM" with your mailing address I send you some super seeds I harvested
from my best plants last year. ( each year I select the very strongest plants to
take seed from for the next year ) My homestead Tomatoes are twice as good this
year as last year ( well a 3rd better anyway ) and it looks like the Okra is going
to make a new record.
My Okra is not the commercial type..it's much better however the plants do get very
tall and that can be a problem picking..( also my Okra has no itch to the plants built in ).
Overnight soaking can help if the seed is 2 yrs old but I haven't had to soak any.
It's not to late to put out OKRA , it loves heat just give it enough water and it will
take off. ( 12-24-12- ) or 15- 30-15- is an all-purpose fertilizer for a small gardener.
& Okra loves that mix.
Use a black plastic "porous" mulch to hold in the heat, you can get it at Walmart.
It comes in rolls 3ft wide about 60 to 90 ft long, cut it like you want , putting holes in
in for the plant.
