We save a few for seeds for next year and let them dry out. If they are too big I don't find them palatable, but maybe someone would like them?

Only the compost digester would like your huge okra! That big and the only value would be to make rope out of them, so I was told. Pressure cooking them just makes tougher rope and you are not supposed to eat rope, you know.

Last summer my 50 okra plants produced many, many bushels of tiny tasty pods and, if I didn't pick TWICE a day, I had enough long tough hard pods to fill 2 cubic yards of my compost bin after a week (I do go on vacation occasionally to prove it). I measured one tiny beauty and in 24 hours it grew 1.25 inches, for example.

I make wonderful pickled okra, so I am told. I just grow them for others to enjoy since I am not Southern enough yet to enjoy okra any which way it is prepared.

If you still have some (or you could let some get bigger) make some Santa okras! I've also seen angel, gnome and elf okras. There's a special paint that looks fluffy like snow which works great for the beards. They're pretty worked into wreaths and dried arrangements too.
