I guess I need to plant okra again this year; I'm just not sure where to put it.
In gardens with limited space, plan on planting the okra where you would normally plant the pole beans (especially if you do a second planting of beans). When the okra is up, plant the beans and let them climb the okra. Harvest both, no problem.
