How to Save Dixon's Creek Branching Okra Seeds
Okra is primarily self-pollinating, though cross-pollination can occur between varieties within distances of less than one mile. To maintain seed purity, avoid growing multiple okra varieties too closely together whenever possible.
Allow pods to fully mature and dry naturally on the plant until they become hard and woody. Once completely dried, harvest the pods carefully from the stalk.
Crack open the dried pods to remove the seeds, then allow the seeds to dry thoroughly before storing them in a cool dry location for future planting seasons.
