- Planting When to Plant Okra You can start okra seeds indoors in peat pots under
- full light 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost date In warmer areas,
- you can also start okra directly in your garden 3 to 4 weeks before the
- last spring frost date as long as you cover the plants with a cold frame
- or grow tunel until the weather warms up fully. Make sure that the covering
- is 2 to 3 feet tall so that the plants have room to grow. If you do not start
- your okra plants early, wait until there is stable, warm weather.
- You can plant okra in the garden when the soil has warmed to about
- 70°F—the warmer, the better. Care How to Grow Okra Eliminate
- weeds when the plants are young, then mulch heavily to prevent
- more weeds from growing. Apply a layer of mulch 2 to 3
- inches high. You should side-dress the plants with 10-10-10,
- aged manure, or rich compost (½ pound per 25 feet of row).
- You could also apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly.
