    Armenian cukes: Are they difficult to germinate? Should I just direct sow or coax them out of their little shells indoors first?

    And what about okra? Throw the seeds on the soil, water and wait?

    And do these two have any benefit in the concept of crop rotation, the way legues do for example? I have a bed that has been growing tomatoes for two season or more and am thinking of putting either the cukes or the okra there. Does one add more benefit for soil rebuilding after tomatoes than the other?

    I'm planning for these two to be my cash crop - will sell to local Indian food restaurants. Someone else locally did this last year with great results. Would like to pay for my gardening hobby from this crop of cukes and okra.

    Thanks for any input.
