okra

[ACE]

I have just realised that an unknown tray of plants are some okra that got mislabelled and are flourishing at the back of the shelf. I shall pop some in a grow bag for growing under glass. But with the island summer ending a bit later than most of you I shall try all the spare extra plants outside on the lottie. They have two chances, but has anybody else had success outside.

Not up here in Derbyshire...I did get some plants to fruit in the greenhouse a few years ago when Jeannine was running an okra challenge, but I was surprised how difficult it was to get them to that stage. You see them growing outside in great swathes in the states, We just don't usually get the climate they enjoy here, but on your sunny little island it may be closer to ideal so certainly worth a punt.
