I do wish that you had an allotment of more than five okra seeds. Sometimes the germination is not so hot, so many folks plant three seeds to the hill - one to push, one to pull, and one to come up. Okra originated from Africa and loves very warm soil. The blossoms are lovely and resemble hibiscus. Clemson spineless is my favorite variety, plus it gets huge and multi-branching. Space generous when planting. I don't know if the soil is warm enough yet for northern planting. Good luck with your experiment.

I might plant more later. 5 was the number I was at when my watch alarm went off, saying it was time to go pick up my mother :)

You have to warn gardeners that okra grows big/huge with tree like trunks! At the end of the season they need to be cut down with a saw or pulled up with an ATV or lawn tractor.
