Saving seeds is one of the most basic of gardening skills, and saving okra seeds is easy and a great way to get started. The variety that I grow is Clemson Spineless.
Let the okra pod mature and dry on the plant. When you can shake it and hear the seeds rattling, it's time.
I counted the seeds in each pod. They averaged 95 seeds per pod.
OOPS took mine off the plant do you think they will grow if I just let them dry in the pods although they have been removed from the plant?
Okra is a pretty tough plant. If the pods are big, but just hadn’t turned brown, they will probably do just fine. Check the size of the seeds after they’re dried out. If they look about the size of the ones in the photo, I’ll bet they sprout. Let me know what happens!
