Okay I went back out and finished digging up the area and removing as many grass roots as I could.

I then used up the rest of the Plant Tone, I had about 3 pounds worth and raked it into the soil.
Leveled with the leaf rake and put in 6 rows this time.
That is 3 pounds in 30 square feet we will see how that goes.
The bed next to it has nothing and will feed it with ladybug organic liquid plant food, 3-1.5-2.
Both will also get Alaska Fish fertilizer 4-1-1 on top of that if needed.
If there is slow growth I will acidify with vinegar.
Okra is a high energy plant and faster it grows the more tender the pods are.

Maybe just maybe I will have enough plants after the snails get their share.
When it stops raining and they sprout I am going to pour on the snail bait.

I just got all the seeds in the ground tools put up and it is about to rain cats and dogs.
Just in time I am so glad I got up at 4:30 AM to do this.

I found one earthworm.
