Re: okra problems
We never have problems growing okra or getting them to flower and fruit. But then I'm in 10B. As other posters said, it needs the sun and heat.

Re: okra problems
How do those red ones taste? I've been thinking of making an extra seed order just to try some.

Re: okra problems
Does the red okra stay red when you process it for pickling? Which variety would be best for this?

Re: okra problems
Okra frustrates me when first planted. I always soak the seed the night before it goes out. As has been said, the stuff likes it hot. Once it comes up, be ready! The first blossoms are down low....easily missed. Okra grows like crazy here in KY Appalachia 6b. Down in South Carolina, they cut the okra back about August and it will come back with a second flush. All this talk about okra has me wanting okra pickles...off to the pantry. LOL

Re: okra problems
I recently bought two packages of okra from Baker Creek. Not really happy with the germination rate of either package. I even soaked the seed for 24 hours per instructions on package. I have bought other type of seeds from BC and have been VERY satisfied. I always buy starter plants from the local mom & pop garden center and seeds from BC. Always have more okra than I can eat. This season we have 40 plants. I am cutting every morning and every evening. My neighbors and co-workers love me. Zone 9, central Florida. Gardening 12 months out of the year.
