Okra Red Burgundy Tender, rich red pods, 15-20 cm long. Bushy plants, bright green leaves with burgundy midribs and stems. Pods turn green when cooked. Pick often or the pods get too large and tough to eat. Ideal for growing in containers on the patio. Plant okra seeds when the threat of frost has past. They need warm weather to grow and should not be planted until the warm weather has started or the seeds may not grow at all. Be sure not to rush this step. Choose the right area to grow okra. Okra needs full sun and enjoys the hot weather. Be sure that the soil has good drainage as well. Mulch and fertilize the soil as needed. Sow seeds for Okra in rows. Space out the rows at least 600mm apart so that you can move through the area once the plants begin to grow. Place the seeds into the soil at least 12mm deep and space out each seed about 175mm. Water gently after you have the okra planted. Notice when the seeds begin to germinate. As they do, thin out the plants so that they are about a 350mm apart from each other, keeping the strongest plants in place. To grow okra in large amounts, you do need a good amount of space since the plant will grow quite wide. Keep the plants wet without puddles of water. Harvest okra as the plant begins to produce the seed pods, which should be about three to four inches in length when they are ripe. Check your okra plants every other day for new growths and harvest them quickly as this will encourage the plant to grow more pods. It takes about 50 days for okra plants to reach maturity.
