Tips & Best Practices
- Okra loves heat — wait until soil is at least 70°F before planting.
- Soak seeds overnight to speed germination of the hard seed coat.
- Harvest pods when 2–4 inches long — larger pods become tough and fibrous.
- Okra produces more in hot weather; it thrives where other crops struggle.
