Something that might be helpful. I've noticed that Okra doesn't put out a lot of deep roots. Most years I end up pulling the old stalks out by hand and it always looks like the roots had spread out from the stalk and are only down about 2 to 4 inches.

One thing for sure, the plants will go down for the count at the first sign of anything like frost. My brother's favorite thing is that nobody is allowed to say the word frost where the Okra might hear it because the plants will die of fright.
