Hello everyone,

As the title said, I am looking at starting some okra from seeds, but wanted to know if I am too late in the season to start, or if I am good for where I am?

I will be growing the okra in large containers specifically, but I could do raised beds if that would be better.

I've never grown it myself but it looks like they'll reach maturity in around 60-70 days so you'd be seeing harvests sometime in September or early October. I couldn't speak to whether you'll still have the temperatures they'll need for ripening then, but can say it's worth a shot

Thank you! Where I am we should get that still, so I think it will be good to experiment at least!
