Is it too late to plant okra in south central North Carolina? Zone 8? I’m in a sandy part,2 miles from the border of South Carolina on the big bend in the state, just west of I-95 and east of Hwy 1.
Also, can I plant okra without doing a good till? I’m working on converting part of my horse pasture but I think it’s to compacted and dry right now to run my tiller over it. I thought I might do some sweet corn,okra,watermelon,winter and summer squash and sunflowers, plus some bush beans and red rippers or pink eye/purple hull. Then this fall I can start really adding the organic matter to the soil with leaves,manure and planting a cover crop.
