I talk briefly about growing Okra in raised beds. It is very easy to grow from seed. Okra is one of my favorite vegetables and it can be cooked a variety of ways.

which month planting okra
how old are that okre
You said you spaced them 6 inches apart but I heard they should be spaced 1-2 feet apart to give the roots more room to grow. I did mine 6 inches too so how did your okra plants do with that spacing? Did you get healthy okras? I hope you notice my comment because I really need your answer. I transplanted mine yesterday afternoon. I have 10 okra plants and I spaced them 6 inches apart. I hope they will do well.
Okra is a very tough plant and doesnot need all the balony crap you put on it
Why both perlite and vermiculite? Was the vermiculite coarse ground or fine ground? Thanks.
I wish I could plant that close... Mine get very bushy.. Great video!!!
You can plant lettuces and cooler crops under the canopy of okra. Nice video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks John! Some okra with those beef ribs would be good that you cooked up...yummmy!
Thanks so much!
Nice looking okra plants! I know they love those raised beds and nice soil you give them!
Looks good. Nice job
Thanks! Yep, they love the heat. Black pots might work well actually. It took mine a while to produce, but they are kicking in good now.
Thanks Rob! Hope you have a great harvest this year too.
Nice... Cant wait to get ours started for spring down here.. Cheers :)
Nice looking plants. The weather as been so cool this year, I don't think it would have liked it too much LOL But I might try someday in black pots so they can warm up :)
Ha! I have the opposite problem...my wife keeps telling me GROW MORE!!
Ha! You know what. My mom doesn't care for it. She was made to eat it as a child (boiled and slimey) so she has an aversion to it now. I told her there are other ways to cook it besides it being all slimey. : > ) More for me!
Raw too! It doesn't taste really different! Give it a try! It's good for you.
Nice! I think the heat has really helped...and the reduction in rain...finally..LOL!
That's great Nicole! I hope you get plenty to share with Mom...LOL!
