Hey i have a few Okra plants growing that i have just planted out in the back yard as seedlings and they are growing strong, i have found some small flower buds on the young plants and was wondering if this is common with transplants or if i should cut the buds off and allow the young plants to focus on growing as they are still quite small. My zucchini seem to be growing flowers already and they are only small, recent transplants. Has anyone experience anything similiar?

I planted okra seeds and realised belatedly that it's the wrong season for this vege. Is there any way I can salvage the plants? They have become strong seedlings, but I read that they don't do well in cold weather. Is planting it indoors until summer an option? Sorry, I am a total newb at gardening.
No! - It is quite OK for okra to start fruiting early - just wait till the weather gets a bit warmer, the plants will then grow up so quickly. Mka esure you keep picking up the okra when they are still tender (4 - 5 inches max)
