Great tip. I usually take the hard ones and place them on the windowsill. You can bend the canes to harvest okra at the top. It won’t hurt them, they’re kinda resilient. My plants are about 10 feet tall, and still producing just outside of Houston. I let them push out okra until we get a frost. The last batch I cooked had a sweetness that I love, so I know October okra is my fav. Thanks again for the drying tip. 🥰🎋

I wasn’t sure if I could cut the green okra for seedling even though they were old so your video helped me a lot in understanding that they can still turn to seed even if I took them off the plant. Thank you for that! Frost is coming in our area and I needed to see if I could have seeds for the next growing season. All the other videos I found were on harvesting seedlings from the husks which already browned. You made a world of difference for me with the information you shared! Thank you!

With the way things are! Thank you so much for sharing your love with all of us ! Together we stand divided we fall!!

Hello from my homestead in northwest Florida. When I saw you stringing those okra the first thing I thought of was my red okra and green okra strung up would make a great Christmas tree decoration along with my popcorn! I think I might just do that this year, my okra is still making, slowly but still making some that I plan to dry. I have some red burgundy that did well this year and is still making, but the Louisiana Velvet is the star of 2023 okra for making.
