One of the Okra pods started to split, which means it is time to remove the seeds. Of course, you can store the entire pod as is, but removing the seeds saves space.
To harvest the seeds just peel back the pod shell and remove the seeds. Each pod can produce between 100-200 seeds. This particular pod produced about 130 seeds.
Place in a dry area and let the seeds dry for a week or two before storing. Remember to annotate what type of seed and date stored. I can tell you from experience, Okra, Papaya, Malabar Spinach and many other seeds really look similar once dried, so it is critical to label the seeds when storing.
