Growing Okra, also Ladyfinger, gumbo

View the Okra page

26 Jan 10 Kathie (Australia - tropical climate)
My concern is not knowing when to pick. Grown from seed (packet) and then transplanted, they grew to about 60 cm very quickly and have a few 'fruit' on them. I left them sit on the plant and they dried and split. I do have more on now. I found the website from the queensland dpi a bit helpful. I can't put in the website but I googled growing okra - pages from Australia.
