Okra cultivation

I'd like to grow okra. (^ ◇ ^)
Okra is delicious even for natto and noodle seasonings and tempura.

First of all, I read and cultivated a cultivation book to devise a simple cultivation method.

As a result, Okra came to the conclusion that temperature, sunlight and topdressing were important,
It seems that we will forget about the additional fertilization, so we tried hydroponics with fertilizer every time. (^ ◇ ^)

First, sowing seeds

Daiso (One Dollar shop) buys two okra seeds for 100 yen (/・ω・)/

Plastic bottle hydroponic plant (> > Learn more about how to make it )

Put three seeds on and cover with soil. ( Okra was covered with soil because of its anaerobic seeds. )

* If you don't germinate, you should leave the seeds in the water for a day.

Okra seeding started on May 15, 2016.

The average temperature in May was 20 ° C in Tokyo.
(The optimal temperature for germination of okra is 25-30 ℃)

After 9 days, one species was flowering, and the other species did not germinate because it was slightly below the germination temperature. (´・ω・`)

* When growing at Otsuka House (OAT House), use 2000 times concentrated solution from germination to harvest.

After 15 days, no other seeds germinated.(´・ω・`)

Grow this guy up!

After 20 days, the leaves have grown and are growing smoothly.

Dehydration of hydroponics was slow and it was okay to add a little.

One month later

The leaves have grown in the direction of sunlight and have become larger. (＾◇＾)

The way to reduce fertilizer water in hydroponics has also increased.

Forty days later, a sudden insect attack on Okra has been successful. ! !(; ･`д･´)
