It all depends on how FAST they grow.
Okra likes a darn near swamp with lots of sun to grow in with very rich soil.
If the plant is allowed to get dry the pods will be very tough at a very small stage.
I always test suspect pods by using a very sharp knife.
I cut cross ways at the base of the pod, if it is hard to cut it becomes seed okra.
If I can barely hear a slight popping sound but cuts easily it is a fryer.
If the knife cuts through like butter it is for pickling or stewing.
