Heat-loving okra with mild pods for curries, stews and soups.
Something a bit different for the summer bed. Lady's Finger okra produces ornamental seed pods that liven up sauces and soups, and it is a classic ingredient in a good vegetable curry.
Okra loves heat, so give it the sunniest, warmest spot you have and a soil that drains well. It is a striking plant in its own right, with the pods following pretty flowers. The flavour is reasonably mild, so it adds interest to a dish without taking over.
Pick the pods young, about five days after the flowers open, when they are tender. Leave them too long and they turn stringy. The pack holds 50 seeds. Full sowing and harvest notes are in the tabs below. Keen to try something new? Pop in and we'll talk it through.
