This makes sense to me. I planted one each in two 5 gal. containers, and they did ok, but I never got more than a few off each plant every few days. Ended up just chopping the 4-6 pods into salads instead of saving them up for a larger recipe.
Seems to me it's a plant, like corn, than you need a lot of to get a good enough yield to do anything with. That being said, those few were good in the salads! I like my okra better raw.
