I have struggled to get a decent crop tbh but a couple of members are persevering this year.

I'm going to wait and see how they get on and learn from them if they are successful  :

Thanks, Sunshineband my daughter loves okra so ill probably try to grow it just for this year, who knows we may get a hot summer and be successful.

The challenge has begun.
 I've  Received 8 Okra Seeds today and I have sown them in individual pots, I'll keep them indoors until they have germinated and big enough to go in the greenhouse. ;)
