Too Late for Okra? (zone 7a) (lemmy.world)

Up until a few weeks ago, our spring had been pretty cool so I put off getting my okra seeds started. Then I forgot about it and now I worry that I am too late to plant some okra! I've never grown it before but I know they are sun and heat lovers. I should have enough of that, but I worry that since it can take 3 months for them to fruit I've missed out on peak growing time.

I'm still going to try, but is there anything I should do to help speed it along? I'm soaking the seeds right now. I've seen that some people scrap the outer shell with sandpaper, anyone have experience doing this? I plan to plant these in deep 5 gal buckets so I can ensure they can always be in the sunniest spot. Any other ideas?!

Wrong sub. This is supposed to be askreddit

Sorry, I thought this was a place to ask all types of questions. Is it not? I'm looking at the other posts here and they are all open ended questions with no particular common subject. I want to understand the purpose of this sub, just let me know. Thanks.
