Okra - (Abelmoschus esculentus) - approx 40 seeds !

is a warm season vegetable which grows well in most South/Central Texas soils. For ample yields, okra must grow in full sunlight with eight hours minimum and in a well drained fertile soil.
Soil Preparation
Spade or turn the soil as deeply as possible. Okra will grow best in soil which has been worked a minimum of eight-to-ten inches deep. Always, consider adding organically enriched and properly aged compost at the initial preparation stage for any vegetable crop at a minimum rate of one-to-two inches incorporated in the planting area. Remove any debris such as rocks or trash, and rake the soil to a leveled and smooth planting surface. Work the soil only when it is dry enough so as not to stick to garden tools.

Planting
For best yields, plant okra in the spring season two-to-three weeks after all danger of frost has passed, which is about late April or May for this area. For a good fall crop, plant at least three months (around the first part of August) before the first fall frost which can be as early as October 31st. Okra seed should be planted about 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in the row. Space the rows at least 30-36 inches apart. As soon as the okra emerges and forms its second true leaves, thin the plants so that they are about 12-18 inches apart.
Watering
Okra will do fairly well under dry conditions. However, watering every seven-to-ten days will give higher yields. Sandy soils usually will need water more often than clay soils. Consider setting up a drip irrigation system. Such a system will provide a more efficient and consistent way to properly irrigate. A two inch layer of mulch will also aide in cutting back on watering.
