Okra pods are used in soups, stews, salads, 
catsup and relishes, and are very popular in 
the South. The pods should be gathered each 
day, while they are tender and pulpy. They 
are at their best when from one to three 
inches long. Okra is a hot weather plant 
and the seed should not be sown until late 
May when the ground is thoroughly warm.
