You can start in peat pots if you want.
I would beware of the frost though it kills okra quicker than tomatoes.
The only red I have grown is called hill country red or something like that.
They should make beautiful plants though.
If your weather stays in the 70's it should be just fine.
I know it can get hot where you live depending on what part of the state it is.
