Not sure what they are, but they look a lot like some chimayo's i'm growing. Mine are really tall and thin just like that with the same type of leaves.
 
I'm thinking the tall skinny ones are baccatums of some kind. Are the flowers pure white, or do they have yellow spots in them?
 
they look more like some kind of cayenne to me...not tepins for sure...the pods are pendant and not round...

here are a couple of shots of a wild tepin that made it thru the winter outside...it is barely 6 inches tall but very very bushy and you can see how it is loaded with little fireballs...they are in 5 gallon containers

You need to pick that okra when it is smaller and tender, otherwise it will be way to tough to eat. If I let mine get over 8 inches it's very fibrous and inedible. Cut it when its between 4 and 6 inches.

3-5 days??? I cut okra every morning, if I don't it will be too large.

If you want some large pods I'm growing some Fife Creek Cowhorn okra. It's a Kentucky heirloom given to the Fife family by an elderly Creek Indian woman over 100 years ago and the pods keep tender longer than most OP okras. If you want I could send you some seeds at the end of the season. So far it's not as productive as Clemson Spineless, but if you're after monster pods a cowhorn okra is what you want.
 
Hi sham, not put your seeds in yet as its too late in the season to start them. going to start then next season and i will let you know how they do.

Thanks,
Chris
