Okra (gumbo) can be grown in Mississippi Delta. The seeds should be placed outdoors around May 10. Seed indoors in pots or other suitable containers around April 20 and transplant in the garden around May 20. Okra needs plenty of space and a long, warm season for good production. Space plants about 12 to 15 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.
