I love okra, I never had a problem in the past transplanting okra. I
stopped growing them in Michigan. I found that they do not grow well
below 80 degrees. Also I found that I needed at least a dozen plants
just to have one tiny meal each week. I may try again in the future
except in raised beds with row covers that keep the soil and plants
warmer.

In the past, I've had the same problem. Our warm season does not last very
long, and even in July our average temps are in the upper 70s or lower 80s.
It doesn't really get hot enough long enough for Okra to mature. I wish they
had a cold climate variety of Okra!


I planted a row of okra this year. In Minnesota. It's been just
sitting there a few inches tall, waiting for the weather to get hot. We
had a couple of hot humid days with warm muggy nights this week, and the
okra (and pumpkin and tomato) plants about doubled in size in two days.
They might do something this year after all...
