Okra fruit developing on the plant

The okra plant is fairly easy to grow, but it does require warm to hot weather (of course not so very hot as in tropical summers, direct in the sun, because that could burn the leaves). In this case, this is my plant with the young okra fruit starting to develop. These develop in clusters, so within a few weeks of seeding or transplanting, you start to see fruit developing. Okra loves organic potting mix, so I keep on adding mulch and this mulch keeps on decaying and enriching to the potting mix. However, monsoon rain can cause problems, atleast my plants stop providing good fruit when there is a prolonged wet spell. Okra fruit need to be cut when the fruit is still tender; it grows very fast so you have to be careful. If you feel the seeds in the okra fruit, then the fruit becomes hard and bitter and not good to eat. And there is a belief that if the okra fruit starts developing hard seeds, the plant stops producing more fruit while that pod is on the plant.
