Okra Seeds?

[GwenFarms]

I'll be planting okra next week if our soil has warmed back up. We have always just planted it shallow in very warm soil, but lately I've had several people tell me they sprout their seeds, or dampen them before planting. I had one person tell me they lay theirs out between wet paper towels for 24 hours and another to tell me he soaks his. We've always done okay just planting our's as I mentioned, but I'm wondering how everyone else does their's. These folks tell me that they grow much faster their way.

I soak my seeds over night it seems to speed up the sprouting process. I am curious also about how everyone else does it.

I also soak mine overnight before planting.
