I grew okra very successfully last summer and loved it. I would like to plant it again but can't find the seeds. Does anyone have a source? I tried Diggers but they don't have it listed.

Okra seeds can be ordered from "The Lost Seed" (google it as I can not post the link here unfortunately - should be the first result and it is an Australian site.) I'm planting them for the first time this year - I love okra and I hope it works successfully!

I just bought a packet of OKRA seeds from the REJECT SHOP. The D.T. BROWN packet of 50 seeds cost A$1.50 only cheers
