Harvest Okras but didn't like it

We've harvest for couple of days now. I have also make one successfully turn into seedlings, but not interested in replanting yet. But mom didn't like the taste, she said it was too rough. The two that she boiled was just left there to rot. Good thing though more are growing. I have tasted it through a smoothie but never tasted it raw or boiled. Unfortunately some of them died because of insects.

That sure is a problem with okra..:( You do not get enough harvest, and even if you get, it may be rough or have insects infesting it. Lot of care is needed and lot of space as well. But it is one of the most tasty vegetables. :)

Hello @vandana7 Maybe I've been planting it way too close to each other. Perhaps I should give them each a pot or two.

I don't eat okras so I don't really know much about it.

@Letranknight2015 Yeah I don't eat vegetables in general. I only eat a few I like and it's selected. Okra's not one of them.

@Letranknight2015 yes, i think the green okra is better to cook and eat as well. i do not really know how a red okra tastes, but i like the green one.

It looks raw or over ripen, maybe the soil ?

Hello @peachpurple I don't know if it doesn't grow on the soil that becomes the problem. So far I've added fertilizers on it.
