Okra

Abstract

Care Okra will grow well in a wide variety of soil types and requires only minimal levels of fertilizer. It does fairly well in hot dry seasons with periodic thorough watering. Later in the season after the plant is tall, you can cut it off about 12 inches from the ground. Use pruners or a saw because okra stalks are very tough. The plant will send up a new stem for pod production into the late summer or fall season.
