I was so delighted to read peter's comment.I bought some from bunnings and we are unable to find long variety here in WA. Peter would you be able to send some long variety seeds for me.We used to grow them back home. Thank you .

Hi, I went onto this thread to find the sowing times for okra and saw your question about seeds. I live in the Rockingham area and find it hard to obtain good seeds for unusual or old timer plants. I went to Fremantle to visit friends and droped into Manna Wholefoods and Cafe on South Tce. They stock Eden seeds. I bought the Okra there... but I think that Eden seeds have an online facility where you can order what you want... plus they have a lot of old fashioned varieties that are hard to find Cheers Bev
