I have picked some okra, little orange hot peppers, basil, squash and cucumber. I can't use them right now and was wondering if it is ok if I freeze them in my freezer?
For ease of cooking, we would recommend that you chop them. The normal way to freeze vegetables from the garden is to blanch them, spread them out on a cookie sheet and then freeze them. Once they are frozen, you can put them in storage bags and keep them in the freezer until you use them. While most vegetables can be frozen, cucumbers are usually not good candidates for this process. However, your okra, peppers, and squash will freeze just fine.

I have planted okra and beans and they had really good growth, but I could not water them for 2 days and it was extremely hot outside, about 43 C. The plants started withering. . . only leaves have withered, stems fresh still. What could be the cause, and what sould I do so that my plants don't become destroyed? Regards. uzmeed
They sound like they need more water. Increase water to the plants and they should be fine.
When I cut okra, do I cut the leaf below the pod?

I have planted my okra as directed, but every time I pick the okra, they are so hard I have to throw them away. I pick them when they are very small.

I planted okra for the first time about two months ago. I'm not very familiar with it. I have plants, but -- forgive my ignorance -- I don't know what I should be looking for to harvest them. Perhaps I'm not training my eyes closely enough, but I don't see anything that looks like it should be snipped. What should I be looking for?
