I transplanted them.
移植しました。
Sadly, all the mulukhiya seedlings (both first 4 and second 4) wilted and died, so did two of the four okra seedlings. (Someone consoled me, saying that I wasn't the only one.)
悲しいことに、モロヘイヤの苗は全部(最初の4本と後の4本とも)しおれて、枯れ、オクラの苗も4本のうち2本が枯れました(私だけじゃないと慰められました)。

I decided to grow both mulukhiya and okra from seeds! I know it was a little late, but I just had to do it.
モロヘイヤとオクラを種から育てることにしました!ちょっと遅すぎますが、やらざるを得ませんでした。
I made seedlings from these seeds, and transplanted them in the field around mid-July.

What are the two varieties of aojiso? Also, do you let the shiso go to seed naturally and scatter in the same spot for next season? I do this but I seem to have marginal success with this method.

Nona: Sorry, I just can't remember what the varieties are!!!

Yes, exactly the same way. I simply don't do anything but to let the shiso come out the next season.
