Hi I would like to try Okra as I am a type 2 diabetic and have heard it can really help, I live in Perth, is there any where I can buy the seeds or plants. Many thanks

eBay. I also just bought seedlings from Bunnings.

Seeds are available in Reject shop and Bunnings. I´ve just seeded them directly to the soil. Grew immediately!

You can buy a variety of Okra seed from Eden Seed I love growing Okra - definitely soak in warm water before planting seeds.

I saw some in Bunnings today. Not cheap though. $7 for 6 seedlings all bunched together in one pot. Asian groceries sell packets of the seeds.
