Growing okra

Know that idiotic nationalist (nazinalist) claims
constitute a marker of imperialist, genocidal,
supremacist cults

Okra and peanuts are from Africa not Arabia.

Oops. Peanuts are from Bolivia. Try them boiled.

I was given some African okra seeds by an African friend, and I know nothing about growing okra because I can't eat it.

Any hints would be wonderful! I'm in the midwest, in zone 4.

TIA.

Okra likes it hot. Here in N. Florida only thing we can grow in summer is okra and sweet potato.

I miss having okra, but they do have it at Walmart sometimes. It goes great in gumbo and other Cajun dishes.

It has been a weird year. Here it is the middle of June and I haven't even tilled the garden spot. It's been too cool and too wet.

I only like it fried or in soup. But I do like it.
