Vitamins: Okra is rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin K. Vitamin C supports the immune system, while vitamin K is essential for blood clotting and bone health.
Minerals: It contains minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium, vital for maintaining proper muscle function, regulating blood pressure, and promoting bone health.

Sowing

Timing: Plant Okra seeds outdoors after the last frost date in warm weather when soil temperatures reach around 65-75°F (18-24°C).
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.0. Incorporate organic matter into the soil for better moisture retention.
Sowing Method: Sow Okra seeds 1 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart in rows separated by 2-3 feet. Ensure the seeds are planted with the pointed end facing downwards.
Sunlight and Watering: Okra thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the germination period.
Support and Mulching: Provide stakes or support for taller varieties of Okra to prevent bending or breaking. Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
Maintenance: Fertilize the plants periodically with a balanced fertilizer. Monitor for pests, particularly aphids and caterpillars, and take appropriate measures to manage them.
Harvesting: Okra pods can be harvested when they are 2-4 inches long, usually within 50-65 days after planting. Harvest frequently to encourage continuous pod production.
