Okra / lady finger is one of my favorite vegetable.
At present we have 3 bags of Okra with 3 plant in each bag. I think 3 plant in a bag is bit heavy with less breathing space for the roots.
Seeds sowed directly in the bags on 29-Mar-2015. Please check the above photo for Okra Seeds, which came along with the Tamilnadu Rooftop Garden Kit
After the growth has started, the 3 bags were treated with NPK 15-15-15 once during mid April.
This photo, 25-Apr-2015, shows the super growth of One or two plant in each bag. You can see the big wide leafs.
This photo was today, 5-May-2015, Which shows less growth after 25-Apr-2015, but shows signs of flowering. Is this is the right time? Here's a link that suggests that a Okra plant will start flowering at around 8 weeks.
Around 30-Apr-2015, one of my well grown plant just wilted and died in a single day and found that the stem just above the root was in a decayed stage. Still not able to find the cause of it. May be a root rot ? If anyone know about this, please post in comment.
We'll put a new article when the first Okra flower blooms.
