Propagation Methods: From seed; sow indoors before last frost From seed; direct sow after last frost Start okra from seed - it does not transplant well so in pot that is biodegradable . The seed should be planted directly in the ground outside about 2 weeks after all danger of frost has passed. Here in Pennsylvania it means that I plant outside sometime between May 20 and 30. The basic rule is to keep plants separated from each other by about 15 inches. I plant in beds that are four feet wide by about twenty feet long. I make three rows, and plant seeds about 18 inches apart within each row. Okra seeds are relatively large and easy to handle. They also germinate well if the soil is warm enough. I plant the seeds about half an inch deep, about three seeds at each spot. In most cases all three germinate, and when the plants are about six inches tall I thin them to only one plant every 18 inches.
