Our okra gets lots of sun planted in late dec. Growing massively well but no fruits after flowering. My partner insists on leaving them for next season I believe they will not produce any longer after a few months. Please help us settle this dispute!

Hi Razak Did you use seeds or plants? Tyr to get good seeds. Try to get a good dried long okra for seeds...from the vegi grower..... Best time to plant soaked seeds straight on vegi patch is around early December and will grow well in summer.....potty mix is sufficient ..home made compost is also good. Good luck!
