I imagine the years that would be best production for okra here would have a nasty hot may. I don't know how much they grow according to heat and versus how much to day length. Last night was fairly cool, maybe through tomorrow night, and will definitely cause a hiccup for the okra. Everything was putting out well. Next year I will do my best to get that to happen a solid month earlier.
Hey, general okra question, when saving seed, take from any plant, any pod that is well formed? Or only huge pods? Or only thicker stalked plant? Plants that put out the most pods? What is the criteria? I've missed a few pods that were close to getting a hard nose, but I picked them anyway, and they were still okay to eat. So, presently I have none left to harden. But soon it will be time to mark a few to leave for seed and I never really though about what to look for. Previous seasons I just kept some that I missed.
