To get quick germination of okra seeds some people soak their seeds overnight. Better yet is to freeze the seed a day or two before sowing. This breaks the hard seed coat and works much better than soaking. And remember, sowing okra in cool soil will still contribute to seed rot/poor germination so allow your soil to warm up before sowing.
