Growing Information

Scientific name

Abelmoschus esculentus

Starting indoors

Start 4–5 weeks before setting out. Sow 3 seeds 1/4" deep in each 2" pot or plug cell, hold the mix at 27–32°C (80–90°F) so seed comes up fast, then keep the strongest seedling.

Transplanting

Once frost is past and the soil has warmed, set plants out without breaking the root ball, spacing them 12–18" apart with 3' between rows. Row cover keeps plants and soil warmer.

Days to maturity

Counted from transplanting.

Direct sowing

Wait until frost danger has passed and the soil reaches 21°C (70°F) or more. Sow 1/2" deep with seeds 2" apart, and thin plants to 12–18".

Seeding rate

At 6 seeds per foot in rows 36" apart: about 1 oz. per 78 ft. and 12 lb. per acre.

Harvest

Cut pods when they reach 3–4" and keep picking so plants keep bearing; pods left too long become tough.

Transplants

About 155 plants per oz.

Packet

50 seeds.

Seeds per lb.

About 9,000 on average.
