How do you collect and save okra seeds?
I have some okra fruit that I've left on the plant to grow large so I can collect seeds from them. How do I know when the pods are ready to pick and de-seed? How do you separate the seeds from the pod, and do you need to process the seeds in any way before storing them? Do they need to be stored in an airtight container? Thanks!

I always plant too much okra because it starts out slow. We can all eat from the first harvest from a 20 ft row. Several weeks later a whole the row makes enough okra for 40 people. Fall comes and the plant dry out and die the okra pods dry out too I cut them off and put them in 5 gallon buckets. The pods split open and the seeds fall into the buckets. I have about 2 gallons of seeds.
Wonder is okra seeds can be used in bean soup?
