Soak seed in warm water overnight to speed germination::Pick pods when young at 2½–3" long:: This compact plant is just the right size for a home garden::These tender-meaty pods are 4 to 5 inches long, nicely tapered, and very evenly sized::Dark green and glossy, they appear among small foliage on neat little plants, usually within about 7 weeks of sowing the seed in spring::Okra is a warm-weather crop, needing both the soil and the nights to be warm before beginning its vigorous growth::Plants begin bearing when about a foot tall, and will continue until frost::For best flavor, harvest the fruit at 4 to 6 inches
