How to Save Seeds
Okra is usually self-pollinating, though cross-pollination can occur between varieties grown within close proximity, especially under active pollinator activity.
For maintaining seed purity, separate different okra varieties by up to one mile whenever possible.
Allow pods to fully mature and harden on the stalks until they become woody and dry before harvesting.
Once dry, remove pods from the plants, crack them open, and collect the seeds for storage in a cool dry location for future planting.
