weed killer

I have a small garden and the okra are about 6 inches tall. There is a lot a grass among it. What can I do to kill the grass. It is too much to pull the weeds out. Can I use glysophate?

No. Roundup will kill the Okra as well as the weeds. The best solution is to get comfy with a mat for kneeling, a long narrow tool for digging and some patience for loosening and pulling the grass roots and all from your small garden. Bring some music out to the garden or invite a friend. A mulch or wood chips between plants will to keep weeds from coming back. Keep growing...and weeding, Marianne Binetti
