Okra seed germination

I live in the U.S. and cut it every 2 or 3 days during the peak season, and cut it about 3 inches long. It will get longer, and some are designed to get really long, but if you let them get too long, they wont be tender. Let a few pods dry on the plant for next years seeds. When they are dry, they start cracking open and dropping seeds. The trick is to catch them before they crack too much. If he achieves THAT in the UK, even growing them under glass, it will be pretty impressive! Remember that our sunlight starts dropping off HARD in 3 months' time :-( Regards, Nick Maclaren. I have grown Okra (in a greenhouse) a few times now and have always had a good crop! I first grew them when I was 11 years old in my mums greenhouse! I'll report back on how my plants are getting on!
