Okra seeds needs warm soil to germinate. Once it is established you can harvest until May. Easy recipe: wash dry cut the top off. Boil with sliced onion, split green chillies, coconut milk, curry leaves and salt. Do not put the spoon in the pan. Shake the pan instead if you want everything to mix well. after 10-15 minutes remove from stove and add lime juice. Enjoy.
