Okra is easy to grow and use and looks lovely throughout the growing season due to its beautiful flowers. It’s also rich in vitamin A and low in calories, which makes it a great addition to your diet.

PLANTING

  • You can soak the seeds overnight in tepid water to help speed up germination.
  • You can start okra seeds indoors in peat pots under full light 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost date.
  • In warmer areas, you can also start okra directly in your garden 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost date as long as you cover the plants with a cold frame or grow tunnel until the weather warms up fully. Make sure that the covering is 2 to 3 feet tall so that the plants have room to grow.
  • As a warm-weather crop, okra appreciates full sun. Okra is adaptable and will grow in most soils, though it performs best in well-drained soil that’s rich in organic matter. Soil should ideally be on the acidic side, with a pH between 5.8 and 7.0.
  • If you are planting okra transplants, be sure to space them 30 to 60 cm apart to give them ample room to grow.
  • Plant okra seeds about 10 to 25mm deep and 25 to 40cm apart in a row.
  • Okra plants are tall, so space out the rows 75 to 100cm apart.
