I used to grow Okra successfully in the past. lately I am having problems in growing them. Some times I do find the freshly emerged has been cut in to two. Has any one had similar problem. What could it be due to?

Hello. I was,wondering how successful you have been with the okra. I bought a well established plant today and planted in my no dig raised garden beds. it gets full sun late morning until late afternoon. I water my veg patch every might during summer.

I grow Okra from seeds but if they get too wet the roots rot and plants die. Important not to have plants in pots that are too big for same reason. As plants grow I transplant from small too larger pots thus preventing root rot. It's important to give enough water to keep compost damp but not to over water. I water when I notice the surface of compost is drying out

I have okra seeds if anyone wants them from last years crops. I just soaked them until I see them sprout and then plant them out. If you would like some then send a prepaid self addressed envelope.
