How to Plant Okra

• Plant okra seeds about 1/2 to 1 inch deep and 12 to 18 inches apart in a row. You can soak the seeds overnight in tepid water to help speed up germination.
• If you are planting okra transplants, be sure to space them 1 to 2 feet apart to give them ample room to grow.
• Okra plants are tall, so space out the rows 3 to 4 feet apart.
