The first pods will be ready in 50-60 days. Harvest every other day when they are still immature (2-3 inches) long. Use a knife or sharp scissors to cut the stem just above the cap. If the pods are hard and crunchy when you slice them they are not edible as they have gotten tough and over-matured. Throw them away and learn to pick them younger!

Does picking okra burn your hands?

When I pick okra, I do not notice any pain from a burning sensation, however I do notice that my hands feel extremely slick for a few hours after picking okra. If I wash my hands or otherwise get my hands wet, they are very slick, as if I have hand soap suds on them. Have no idea why this is as I purposely do not get any of the sap onto my skin, just the dry okra pods as I harvest.

Don't feed your horse okra until you check with your vet. Okra is in the spinach family and I know spinach has certain toxins in it. Just to be safe ask your vet, and if he gives the 'go-ahead' only feed in small amounts.
