It is an exceptional yield of spineless, tender ribbed pods with great taste. Stews have long been a staple. Canning, baking, roasting, or boiling are all good choices, but I like them raw when fresh. When the pods reach 3-5 inches in length, harvest them. Pods can grow to be very large, but smaller pods are more tender. Plants grow until it gets cold in the fall, so they can reach 6 feet or more in areas with a long, wet growing season.
Don't just let the 1st one grow as big as you can, it could shut the plant down. They do have some susceptibility to nematodes. If you would like to grow okra from the Spring through the summer and into fall, it is better to do 2 successive plantings in 2 different locations. One- from the Spring into summer, and the other from summer and into fall.
