Okra is a warm-season vegetable.  The plant seems to do well in cool areas but better when the day time temps reach 80°F.  Able to grow to 3-4' tall, these pods don't turn woody as quickly as other varieties.

Planting: Sow seeds or transplant in a garden that gets full sun and has moist, well-drained high organic matter soil. It has showy yellow flowers with purple centers followed by edible pods. If grown from seed, ensure that the temperatures remain above 55°F, or start indoors. The pods can be harvested when they reach a length of 3 inches, approximately 4 months after sowing. They can be used fresh or dried, eaten as a vegetable, or added to soups or stews. Its leaves, flower buds, flowers, and calyces can be eaten as greens.

Gardening for happiness!
