| Hi everyone. I am in the North East which is consistently hot, I beleive the frosts may be over for this year. I live in the mountains so it cools down at nights in summer. When do I plant the above vegetables? Can I grow okra at all?
The winter squash is Table Queen. |

| Winter squash yes. They like lots of fairly raw compost/manure. Sow a few seeds evry three weeks until you're absolutely certain of no more frosts. Collards like it pretty cold I thought. In fact, I wouldn't plant them here till late summer. Can't help with okra sorry. |

| Thanks Raymondo, I think we will start planting some of each and just see how we go. |

| Winter, I've just sown some okra seed "Pentagreen" they are called. Never grown them here before but if you show me yours I'll show you mine so to speak. I've never tried them here before but I think the frosts are over for the year here. |
