Okra

[cleo]

The bane of my life ;)-well I was listening to GQT on the way home and even Mr Flowerdew admitted to only getting a very small crop-so I think all of us who try if only to get a few fruit should not feel too bad

Always the optimist I'm giving it another go this year Steph....even six fruits will be a success for me....actually,  even four....

[dtw]

I'm going to give them a go this year, I had some seedlings going, but they got too leggy and started falling over, so they went in the compost.
I'll start them again in a few weeks when the weather is better.

For the number of times that you eat Okra, like Salsify or Seakale, is it really worth al the aggro?

[dtw]

I plan to eat loads, I love the stuff.  :D
It's so expensive in the shops.

Never even got to the flower stage with Okra, but I like Salsify Tim... have half an allotment of the stuff, well it self set from some that went to seed on an under-utilised plot next to mine!

;D

[Mrs Ava]

Have mine ready to sow tomorrow.  We shall see.  Second time lucky maybe?

[okra]

Tried okra last year and failed completely but I have still got some seeds left so I will try again

[Hyacinth]

Have mine ready to sow tomorrow.  We shall see.  Second time lucky maybe?

I think you sent me mine last year Emma? So, yep! we'll give it another go 8)...I'm leaving mine til early April to start off, tho....

[Mrs Ava]

I did lish, and mine were a complete failure, so today, all of the remaining seeds went in.   :-\

[Tora]

I tried growing Okra several times with no success. I'm trying this year again though, I love Okra and would eat it every day if I could.

Every time I tried, as soon as I planted out they stopped growing. They definitely need heat but I don't have a greenhouse!

Hope somebody from A4A have a success this year. :)
