    How far apart do you grow Okra Plants?

    I tried to grow Okra last your for the first time but it did not do very good because it was so hot....so I thought....... But I heard it was a heat loving plant so I think I may have planted them to close together. I'm going to give it another go this year. Is 1 foot to little space between the plants and how much will one plant yield?

    It was the heat last year. Took a week to get a small mess off my plants .Id get 2,3 or 4 pods then have to wait a few days to get anymore

    1plant should give ya a Bunch, Ive got about 20 growing right now and they with in 6 to 8 inches of each other, Should give me more okra than I can do anything with

    If the soil is good and you keep em watered ya cant really get "TOO Close"

    Put em' in rows and when they start growing, thin them out. If I remember correctly, you want about 1-2 feet between plants.

    Okra is one of them things anybody can grow.

    Keep 'em far enough apart that they aren't noticeable from the sky.

    Most people don't like the idea of thinning a healthy plant but mature plants really need a little space to thrive.

    We planted two seeds every six inches and then thinned to one plant every six inches if needed. Always had more than enough.
