Beginners Guide To Growing Okra |Grow Bhindi In UK Welcome back to the our kitchen garden. In this video we will give you tips & updates on the okra plants which we started from seeds back in April. #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden
I used to grow these in Punjab when I stayed there but not here. Your plant growth has been stunted for some reason and they have started producing before gaining height or fully growing , they are usually a very tall plant bearing never ending okra. They do need a lot of heat as they only grew in June, July and August in Punjab where the temperatures rise up to 50. Maybe. Next time keep them in heated green house , good luck
So glad to see a video on okra. I’ve tried in the past several years but sadly failed. Slugs love them and so do green and white bugs. Good tips on starting late. I have some ready to be transplanted into little pots. They are not as big as yours of course! I’m really looking forward to the okra updates. Weather is really depressing and this year I’m never going to see much harvest I’m afraid! Thank you so much for these wonderful videos 🙏🙏
The weather has been atrocious, far too cool for most heat-loving crops, but the slugs and snails are loving it. We need slugs and snails in the ecosystem, but sadly in our kitchen gardens we can never have the right number of plants to withstand a full on slug attack.
I love eating okra. Well. I am too late for seeding them this year, but I will definitely try next year. I like the square big pots you are using, They are space saving compared to the round ones I have got. Can you please put a link to where one can purchase items you use, you may even be able to make a little money from directing your viewers to such a website. Thank you for your clear instructions. I like people who get straight to the point, which you do, good job. Thank you. I have learnt something today.
Good luck with your okra. I've grown it once and I had 2 okras on the plant 🤗🌝 but it was a very cold year. So I'm going to try it again and hope that the weather will be nice. Happy gardening to you as well 🌱🥒🍅🍆🌶🌽
Mashaallah.. good job on the okra. I have tried but never managed to get them to grow more than 10 cm tall.. Keep us updated, will love to see some produce from them InshaAlla
Thanks for the okra update. I have okra plants this year. They are growing good. I have to transfer them to bigger pots. Weather is so bad this year. I will pit them out when its warm enough. Please keep updated us if you have okra fruits
I've grown Okras for many years, and one thing that I've learned that causes them to flower early or remain small is when you disturb their roots during transplanting. Now I sowed them directly into a 5 gallon container where they will live out their life. I normally plant 2-3 plants per container and harvest a handful every day.
No matter how much you harvest in the end, you will always appreciate it more than shop bought produce. Best wishes, and please bring some warm weather back from Bangladesh!
Thanks for sharing. I am trying to grow okra for the second time (in Bournemouth). No luck last year. I am wondering where you bought your seeds - would you mind sharing. Thanks.
Please give me please give an advice my plants is not growing well I’m trying everything good compost fish blood and bone meal everything is good quality but still my plants is not growing like your plants. What I do ? I’m also in London. Please reply me..
Slm Ali Raja. I would like to offer the viewers some further advice. Growing Okra in the UK is very difficult. The only way to succesfully grow okra in the uk is: 1) do not transplant. Sow okra seeds in their final location. Even if you are very careful, Okra hates being transplanted and this can set the plant back greatly often leading to stunting 2) although tempting, Okra does not grow well in pots unless they are very deep. in my expereince anything under 10 litres is not suitable. instead sow Okra direclty in a deep raised bed undercover and thin out to no more than 4 plants every sqaure foot 3) Okra does not grow well in standard compost. You need to ammend it with perlite and sand to aid drainage. Okra hates sitting in very wet heavy soil 4) Okra likes very hot temperatures and minimal temperature fluctuations. A polytunnel that gets full sun for most of the day is your best option. 5) do not water okra with cold water. Keep a water butt in your polytunnel that has reached ambient temperature. 6) For the effort, space, resources required the return is minimal. At most you will get two okra fruits per plant. If you are lucky, 3. Be realistic and manage your expectations as this plant is notoriously difficult to grow in the UK. Good luck
