Planting Okra: Okra seeds are large and easy to handle. Some gardeners like to pre-soak their seeds the night before planting, but you should get good germination if you keep the soil moist until the plants break through.

Okra can be direct sown or started indoors and transplanted. Starting seedlings in peat pots will lessen transplant shock. Start indoor seeds 6-8 weeks before transplant date.

In colder climates, wait until the weather is reliably warm, about 2 weeks after your last expected frost date, before transplanting outdoors. Okra is a heat lover. It kicks into gear when temperatures reach 80 degrees F. and still grows strong when it climbs into the 90s.

Direct sow seed 1" deep and 4-8" apart. Space rows 3' apart. Okra plants can get large and branched. Thin to 18-24", when seedlings are 4-6" tall, to give the plants room to branch. Crowding will result in thin plants with few fruits.
