Okra
Abelmoschus esculentus
Okra is a warm-season vegetable that thrives in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Plant outdoors after all frost risk has passed and provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best pod production. Harvest pods regularly when they are 3–4 inches long to encourage continued fruiting throughout the season.
