#15: Harvest Okra Seed From Kitchen

  1. 🌱 Okra / Ladies Finger

Trying to harvest the seed by letting it dry.

I read that it is best to let it dry on the plant itself in order to harvest the seed. I saw a video where they harvested it earlier, hang it up it in a shed to dry.

I guess it is best not to dry it by direct sunlight.

Some part of the okra still feels a bit greenish, so I hang it at the balcony (no direct sun) to dry it further.

The okra pod doesn't crack up after almost 3 months. The seed doesn't seems big and round. Perhaps the original size of the okra is too small for seed harvest.

Dip the okra seeds in water in a few hours, then try to grow them in seedling mix.
