Ladies Finger Care
- You can start okra seeds indoors in peat pots under full light 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost date
- 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
- Make sure that the covering is 2 to 3 feet tall so that the plants have room to grow
- If you do not start your okra plants early, wait until there is stable warm weather
- You can plant okra in the garden when the soil has warmed to 65 ° to 70 °F
- Plant okra in fertile, well-drained soil in full light about 1/2 to 1 inch deep and 12 to 18 inches apart
- You can soak the seeds overnight in tepid water to help speed up germination
- If you are planting okra transplants, be sure to space them 1 to 2 feet apart to give them ample room to grow
- Okra plants are tall, so be sure to space out the rows 3 to 4 feet apart
