Okra is a tender crop that needs plenty of heat and sun. Sow in April or early May and they will be ready to harvest from mid-summer to autumn when young and tender.
Well done rose .Since I am in Netherland and I have sown the seeds in june 1st n hoping it will come nicely .It's 1st time experiencing vegetable gardening. MY bottle gourd also sprouted now .By seeing ur vedio I am encouraged .Thanks rose .

Ha a mother of 5coming to the UK happy to bump into ur video. I love growing my own vegs! 👌 basically every thing in my country Uganda I grow every food .but coming to the uk. Was wondering how will I do it. Thanks alot hope there's more cos I love indoor plants too❤.
the video is amazing. thank you. I have just started growing veg and fruit in containers and am really excited to find out how I get on. I will try Okra next year as I love eating it. Can you tell me what seeds you used and where you got them from
Thank you so much for watching 😄. Glad to know that your growing your own fruits and veggies. Wish you good luck in your gardening 👍 I got spineless okra seeds from B&Q 😊
Great video TFP - Wanted you to say which part of the UK you're at though, as that can make a difference too. North/South/East or ...? Felt excited for you when saw them growing like that. 🙂 Oh, and what/where did you get your automatic watering thingy from?
Hi Olivia, thank so much for visiting the page. I live in London. I got the automatic watering controller in B&Q You also get it in Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/HOZELOCK-Watering-Controller-Automatic-Pre-installed/dp/B07YZXR1FF/ref=zg_m_bs_g_4224933031_m_sccl_2/259-4663958-0975117?psc=1
Hi Silina, A strong blast from the hose can knock aphids off like a mini tidal wave. It's simple and effective. OR One natural remedy is using a garlic-based repellent. Crush or chop several garlic cloves and steep them in water overnight. Strain the mixture and spray it directly onto the okra plants. The strong scent of garlic is known to deter many common garden pests like aphids, spider mites, You can also try interplanting okra with strong-smelling herbs like marigolds, basil, or mint, as the aroma can help mask the plant's scent and make it less appealing to insects. Hope it helps and good luck 😊
wow nice big fat okras, grown outdoors too, if you buy okra from supermarkets in england, can you keep the seeds to grow when you eat the flesh (like with a tomato)? or are the seeds too young n not fully developed when the vegetable is edible (like with a cucumber)? an addition about collecting seeds would have been good.
Hello my friend, thanks much for watching 😊 I would leave some okra pods ( maybe 2 or 3) on the plant for them to mature enough to save seeds for next summer. Seeds from young ones wouldn’t sprout on sowing. Hope this helps and happy gardening 👩🌾
@@RosyDaisy unfortunately thats what I thought would prob be the case, most shops n supermarkets dont sell the seed packets, but some supermarkets sell the veg/fruit . but thanks anyway.
Hi Ramesh, I live in London Agree last year, the weather was on and off unlike the year before Good luck with you’re gardening this year and hope you have a good harvest 😊
Hi Saman, Growing okra in the UK can be a bit challenging as it requires heat and full sun to grow. Weather this year is not as good. I live in the East. In the the UK it grows more successfully in a greenhouse or polytunnel, Good luck next time Saman 😊
Hi Rani, thank you so much 😊 It’s advisable not to plant them out now as it’s still cold. Okra needs plenty of heat to crop well and they can’t stand wind. You could plant them out once the weather is settled probably between mid and end of May. Happy gardening and good luck 😊
