You’ll have really robust plants, but you’ll wait longer for the pods to emerge. Inspect the plant for signs of disease and infections. Reusing dirty trays can cause major seed starting problems. Empty any water that hasn’t been soaked up after 30 minutes. I also like to cut leaves away as I harvest the pods. Watering from the top Solution: It’s best to water your seedlings from the bottom by pouring it into the tray, and allowing the soil to absorb it from the bottom. Keep at least the top 4 okra leaves to assist with photosynthesis. Remove older, deformed, and yellowing okra leaves.

When starting from seeds, sow them directly in the garden in early spring, after the last frost (or in summer and/or early fall for succession planting). If you’re going to do your planting in late spring or in the summer, then direct seeding is the way to go. These are initially green but turn red brown with white stripes as they.
