I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to help these little okra plants. I have a greenish thumb and usually keep herbs around all year and have dabbled in some veggies like spicy peppers and tomatoes, but these feel like slow starters.

We planted them about a month ago, maybe a little longer, from seeds (germinated inside) and they are about 8-10 in tall. I applied nitrogen fertilizer (fish paste) after planting in hopes of getting them off to a hot start by growing larger, which might have been mistake #1.

I also left each set together, which I'm wondering now if that was mistake #2. Should I pick a 'leader' in each group? Any tips would be appreciated.
