I got okra seeds from an Asian grocery store - pretty common in Adelaide. Planted seeds trays in Oct, only 3 survived out of 50 seeds planted, stayed about 3 inches for 1 month (Adelaide had cool start to summer this year). My mum ("certified" green thumb) came visiting in Dec, she put out maybe 20 seeds direct into garden bed, almost all seeds came up with many 3 inches tall in 1 week. (She also stuck 10 corn seeds from the chook feed into another bed, all came up in 1 week). So my tip, find someone with a green thumb (if you aren't that yourself) and invite them over for a meal at specific planting times and hand them the packets of seeds!
