Okra
How to sow okra successfully under cover?
To grow okra under cover, we recommend sowing the seeds in pots or trays filled with a mixture of potting soil and compost. Okra seeds should be sown at a depth of 1 to 2 cm and spaced about 5 cm apart. It is advisable to water them regularly but sparingly, as okra prefers slightly dry soil to excess water.
Sowing under cover can be done in spring, when temperatures start to warm up. It is important to place the pots or boxes in a bright, warm spot, ideally near a window with sunlight. It's also advisable to protect young okra plants from draughts and prepare them for transplanting into the ground once they have reached a sufficient size, usually after the last frosts.
.By following these tips, you'll be able to harvest tasty, healthy okra, while respecting the principles of natural gardening.
