I don't think it's ready yet. I think the bottom needs so be less tapered and fuller. (:

Okra should be cut when it is one to two days old or two to four inches long. This is the time it is most tender. Okra can cause skin irritation so wear gloves when curing. 😍

Okra gets tough if you leave it too long. Harvest at about 4 inches.

Thank you!
Especially you Peggy, bc although i should have learned my lesson by now, I still wouldn't have worn gloves like a doofus and my hands would have suffered more than they are now on their own.

Love it if it's harvested while tender. I have a daughter who likes pickled okra!
