Hey there! If you're planning to grow Blondy Okra from seeds by Axel's Garden, here's how you can get started.
First off, our research suggests the seed packet generally includes around 15 seeds, although the manufacturer doesn't list an exact count. This figure is based on various feedback we've gathered.
Blondy Okra seeds thrive in full sun and sandy soil, as noted in the manufacturer's product description. So, pick a spot in your garden or use a container that gets plenty of sunlight and has well-drained soil. If your soil is more on the clay side, you might want to mix in some sand or compost to get the right conditions.
Here's a quick guide to planting:
-
Prepare Your Soil: Ensure it's loose and drains well. Mixing in some compost can help with nutrients and drainage.
-
Planting Depth: Sow the seeds about ½ inch deep. If you're using rows, space them about 12 inches apart to give each plant room to grow without crowding.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soaked while the seeds are taking root. Okra plants like the warmth, so they won't need as much water as some other plants, but do keep them well hydrated until they sprout.
-
Germination: Many people have noted that these seeds germinate pretty reliably within 10 to 14 days, as long as you've got the right climate conditions.
If you're aiming for a bigger harvest, consider getting more seed packets, or check if there's an option for bulk purchases.
And remember, it's always a good idea to check any additional instructions that come with the seeds for the best results.
Happy gardening!
