1 You can also start okra directly in your garden 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost date as long as you cover the plants with a cold frame or grow tunnel until the weather warms up. Make sure that the covering is 2 to 3 feet tall so that the plants have room to grow. You can soak the seeds overnight in tepid water to help speed up germination. 2  If you are planting okra transplants, be sure to space them 1 to 2 feet apart to give them ample room to grow. 3  Okra plants are tall, so be sure to space out the rows 3 to 4 feet apart.
There is a brand of okra i can buy frozen (Montana brand) that are 1.5 cm or smaller. It is a variety (size) of okra common in middle east, I believe Egypt. I live in Texas and would like to try and grow this small variety. Can you help me figure out what variety this is, where to buy it, and how to grow it. Thanks.
