How to Grow Okra from Seeds:
What You’ll Need
- Okra seeds
- Sunny spot with well-draining soil
- Compost or fertilizer
- Watering can or hose
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Choose the Right Time
Plant okra seeds in spring or summer when soil hits 65°F (18°C) or warmer—okra loves heat! - Prepare Your Soil
Pick a sunny location. Dig 12 inches deep, blending in compost for rich, loose soil. - Plant the Seeds
Sow okra seeds ½ to 1 inch deep, 12-18 inches apart, in rows spaced 3 feet. Water lightly. - Water and Wait
Keep soil moist during germination (7-14 days). After sprouting, water weekly, adjusting for dry weather. - Tend Your Plants
Thin weak seedlings. Add mulch to lock in moisture and stop weeds. - Harvest Your Okra
Pick pods at 2-4 inches long, about 50-60 days after planting. Harvest often for more growth!
Pro Tip
Okra thrives in hot climates. Wear gloves—some pods are prickly!
