Growing Okra
Generally, like all other vegetables, Okra plants love plenty of sunlight, moist ground and good drainage rich light soil. The plants will produce fast with flower buds; when they feel stable and secured.
Germinating Okra: You can sprout the seeds separately and replant into the soil when sapling turned to 2-3 leaves, or sow the seeds directly in the garden/Field.
Watering: Keep regular watering to keep the ground moist and not wet.
Sunlight: Okra thrives in full sunlight, so select a location in your garden that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily.
Spacing: Plant okra seeds or seedlings 12 to 18 inches apart in rows spaced 3 feet apart to allow ample room for growth.
Soil Requirements: Okra prefers fertile, loamy soil. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Support: While okra plants are generally self-supporting, taller varieties may benefit from staking during strong winds or heavy rain.
Harvesting: Harvest okra pods when they are 2 to 4 inches long and still tender. Use sharp pruning shears to cut the pods from the plant to avoid damaging the stems.
Pro Tip: Check okra plants daily during the growing season, as pods mature quickly. Regular harvesting encourages continued production throughout the season.
