Also they don't get woody as fast. And the plants are staying short too.

An old neighbor of mine, who has since gone to that Great Garden, used to say that "when okra gets stubborn, ya gotta whip it." And he actually meant to take a switch and smack the plants a few times! He swore it worked. I'm thinking it might have stressed his plants enough that they decided they'd better get busy and start trying to reproduce!
Glad you got yours going again!
