Harvest the pods when fairly young for best eating. Most regions in Canada will have an easy enough time growing okra to the immature eating stage. Ripening the pods fully for seed is what takes a longer growing season. Shorter season areas can still very much grow okra for food, provided you have enough heat to grow tomatoes or peppers. The plants show a broad range of traits, from their mixture of parent lines. Some pods are long, others are short and stubby. Mostly green pods, but a fair amount of red plants also. 30 seeds.
