g'day kylie,

we've always found okra easy to grow and get fruit from, always too
much too eat as once it starts producing picking is a dail affair.

now the ants may have bought aphids onto the flower buds and that
could cause problems with bud development.

maybe for the flowers that did open as normal they didn't get
pollinated yo may have shortage of bees etc.,?

can't quier remember but i think they have gnarly looking roots, but
just in case it is nematodes pre-treat anotehr planting spot and try
again, we have reciped for pre-treating on our remeidies page.

they do like to be well watered but we kept them heavily mulched.

so get a spot ready for next seaon.

snipped
With peace and brightest of blessings,

len & bev
