Leave the okra pods on the plant until they are brown and starting to separate at the seams. Then cut the pods from the plant and allow them to cure somewhere where they won’t get wet for a couple of months. Harvest the seeds and keep them cool and dry. I store mine in old prescription bottles, in a box, in a very cool room that we use for storage. You can put them in the freezer for really long term storage.
Thank you. Some of the pods are REALLY huge. My jades did beautifully.
We’re getting ready, as soon as it cools to 90 degrees, to begin enlarging the garden in the pasture. Today we’re going to look at the space for the community garden and hopefully will have it going for next sping’s planting. I do hope it has water and electricity. It’s funny and great at the same time. Space has already been set aside for our “coming” Farmer’s Market and the names are flooding in for it. I need to go on a recruiting round in the county for produce and products when the market begins. Retirement sure keeps one busy.
