Planting Instructions :  

You can sow okra directly in your garden 3-4 weeks before springs starts.

Plant okra about 1/2" to 1" deep and 12-18" asunder.

You can soak the seeds overnight in tepid water to help speed up germination.

Be sure to space them 1 to 2 feet apart to give them ample room to grow. These plants are tall, thus, be sure to space out the rows 3-4 feet apart.

Growing Requirements :  

Although okra is somewhat drought-tolerant, giving the plants about 1 litre of water per week is ideal.

Pest infestation symptoms include brown-black necrotic lesions on leaves which may have chlorotic margins. Small soft bodied insects on underside of leaves and stems of young transplants or seedlings also cause damage.
