Individual pods can reach 20cm, but they're at their tenderest and tastiest at about 8cm long. Grow this heat-loving crop under frost free conditions.

How to Sow
Okra is best sown 20mm deep directly where it is to grow, but can also be germinated in small pots. Plant three to four seeds together for bushy, productive plants. Prepare soil well, and keep moist. Plant in a different location every year.
How to Harvest
Okra pods develop quickly and must be picked young or they become tough. About four days after planting, your pods will be 5 to 8mm long and ready for harvest. Cut the stems above the cap at the top of the fruit.
