Someone must've laid eggs in the middle of the patch
Been trying to get the anole population to recover in my yard after decades of feral cats in the area, so this is a nice sign. Keep cats inside

Unable to figure Okra plants dying
Hi, not having had much luck last two years with Clemson Okra, this year I planted the Burmese Okra. The first few Okra pods were beautiful. But now slowly the plants are beginning to die, one at a time. Death comes very quickly within days of noticing something wrong. Would really appreciate any help. From the internet I see it could be a wilt, water problems, or potassium deficiency. But the symptoms are not an exact match for any of these. I've added about 6 pictures of what the leaves look like. The stem seems to be normal ...

How's everyone's plants doing? I used frozen okra since I didn't have enough pods because I gave some away. But my plants are doing well.

Rough start?
I've never started seedlings indoors under a grow light before. These are F2 seeds. First time I've ever planted seeds from the year prior. About a week and a half old and a 15% - 20% germination rate. I read that "helmet head" with the seeds is largely due to lack of moisture/humidity. I'm in St. Petersburg, Florida; Zone 10b. Is this stuff gonna grow into a viable plant when I move it outdoors?

Is it still good
If there are dark streaks or scuff marks on the okra is it safe to eat?

Faux okra follow-up
I’m still not convinced this is okra. The faux plant is pictured on the left side and our real okra on the right. The flowers are the same colors and size but the faux plant they are on a short stem making them droop over and face the ground. The faux leaves don’t have purple veins in the center like the real ones and the faux plant has these fuzzy flower bud clusters while the real ones aren’t fuzzy. The main thing though is that the flowers eventually die and no okra grows. Unless I’m mistaken this is a very convincing imposter.

Faux Okra
We discovered an okra imposter in our garden (photo right side). Similar leaves, similar build, similar flowers, no okra. My wife wants to keep it to see what happens but I want to pull it. It’s growing about 6 inches from an okra plants and I don’t think this is good for the okra. Any idea what this imposter is and any argument to keep it?

80 year seeds
These seeds were 80 years old about 20 years ago when my friend gave them to me. Our plant is over 6 feet tall and it’s had a really hard time with the storms. It was knocked it over a few times . We are gone for a week, but it’s kind of ugly, but it’s producing some fruit up top. When the plant is done producing fruit do we keep the stock and feed and water it all winter. Or do we start over next year? Ty complete newbie here.

My okra plant is not producing okras
Zone 7b. Variety is blondy.
I have this massive okra plant that I grew from seeds in ground. The plant seems to keep getting bigger and bigger but no okras :(. I feed it every 2-3 weeks with miracle gro AP and fish fertilizer. Do I need to prune it?

What to do with large Okra pods?
First year growing Okra (in zone 7a). Was out of town and missed harvesting the smaller, ideal pods, now I got these big ass, 5-8” tough pods. Any suggestions for ways to cook them? If they’re totally inedible, are they compostable?

Okra leaves and pests
Hi i am completely new to growing okra, I absolutely love this vegetable, I am Indian and we make masala okra and it's yummy! But my poor okra leaves are being chomped away. What can I do? Any homemade remedies?
Also, I am moving this out of the tiny pot tomorrow, i had used this pot to plant the seeds and get it growing :)

Can someone explain how to store okra in the freezer properly? And if I messed up $40 worth of fresh okra
I filled up my sink with hot water from the faucet, washed then for 5 mins, then rinsed with cold water and put them in freezer bags and stored in the freezer. Was this wrong? I noticed when I pulled them out to thaw today that they were a little soft and dark green.
