I cut okra every other day, and it produces 2-4.5 inch pods. I could cut every day if I wanted to (but I DON'T want to). I fertilize once or twice with 5-10-30 (too much nitrogen is bad). I find it absolutely necessary to wear a long sleeve shirt, because I will spend the next hour after cutting scratching my skin off. My favorite variety is Clemson Spineless, and I have always had good luck with it. As to tough pods, I have heard of folks who spray paint them and turn the pods into Christmas decorations, but I have never tried it. You can also save your seeds, as long as you didn't plant a hybrid variety. I plant 6-8 150 ft. long rows every year, and I get an average of 8-12 pounds per cutting off it. Oh, and by the way, you don't really have to cut the pods with a knife. You should be able to snap most of them off, and that will really save you time.
