My poor young okra plants appear to be dying. I think it might be fusarium wilt, but this is the first time I've grown okra. I live in central Alabama and we've recently had some very heavy rain. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Thank you in advance!

Unless you used garden soil, I would doubt that you have fusarium. Okra is a hot weather plant and your plants are way ahead of the warming curve. Drainage can also be a problem. While okra is a water loving plant, it can't stand to have its roots in standing water. For their size , they look spindly and anemic, may just need some plant food. I would check drainage first since they appear to be pots.
