Gardening tips for growing Okra in the UK

Okra is a tender crop that needs plenty of heat and sun. Sow in April or early May and they will be ready to harvest from mid-summer to autumn when young and tender.

I've just bought some okra seeds so I'll try growing them next year.

[JakeStiff-hquc]

Very nice thanks I’m going to try and grow some this summer
Is there different types? Your okra pods were so much bigger than what I’ve seen

[mooncatandberyl]

wow nice big fat okras, grown outdoors too, if you buy okra from supermarkets in england, can you keep the seeds to grow when you eat the flesh (like with a tomato)? or are the seeds too young n not fully developed when the vegetable is edible (like with a cucumber)? an addition about collecting seeds would have been good.

Wow thanks Rosy im going to try this I've bought seeds already. Ive got green house so i cant wait, thank you so much🙏

[silinaforrester]
