Planting & Care
Start okra seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly in the garden once the soil has warmed to at least 65°F. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Okra loves heat and will grow quickly once temperatures rise. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart to allow good air circulation.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Harvest pods when they are 2-3 inches long for the best tenderness; pick every few days to encourage continued production. Clemson Spineless Okra is generally pest-resistant and easy to grow, making it a rewarding addition to any vegetable garden.
