I made the mistake of starting my seeds in trays first, last year.
Thanks for the tip, as last years crop was an obvious failure.

how many okras pods can b grown on a well grown plant?

I'm an American living in the Philippines. I have never grown Okra myself, but the neighbor has one very large Okra plant. For a while it was nice and green and producing. Now, it seems to be dying. I never saw any bugs, and there are quite a few flowers at the top. Does this mean it is going to seed? Will it rebound?
At the foot of the plant there is a vine growing. It isn't out of control, but does the Okra need a ton of nutrients and the vine is sucking up too much of it? Could that be the issue? -
very well explain, simple clean and informatic, like also the background music. very nice video, i like it.
btw what is the title of the background music? -
Do you know how much sunlight is ideal? I only have about 5-6 hours of sun my plants are still fairly small.

Great video, full of good tips... TFS!!! Have been wanting to grow these for so long... I think I will this season... But where to get a hold of the seeds? I am in So Cal... BTW, bought the garden cart you recommended in another video and the raised beds as well :) thanks so much!

when I sow the okra seeds I place them one every 6 inches later when they are about 6 inches tall I thin them to one every foot. then you can eat the okra plants that you pull up. The leaves are very good raw.
