Thin to proper spacing after two weeks.
Okra spacing. This is just an average. Soak seeds in water overnight before planting them 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart in warm soil. The spacing between rows first picture is 52.
The heavy hitter was planted later and is just now starting to produce i was also short of space at the time or it would have been planted farther apart in both directions. Okra should be planted in rows 3 to 6 feet apart with 9 to 12 inches between seeds in the row at a depth of inch deep. The tall okra plants shield the tender greens from the hot sun.
Spacing okra seeds in your garden when you initially plant the seeds plant them 1 2 to 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart in rows 2 to 3 feet apart. The exception to this is for those who have clay soil and live in a windy area. Clay soil can dry and crack leaving the okra unstable if it has not developed a good taproot.
How much okra to plant and plant spacing requirements how many okra plants do you need and how far apart should they be planted. Space rows 24 to 36 inches apart. You can soak the seeds overnight in tepid water to help speed up germination.
I recommend starting with 2 4 plants and keeping them about 12 apart. Okra plants are tall so space out the rows 3 to 4 feet apart. Sow okra seeds to 1 inch deep set 6 inches apart.
