Tradionally you pickle in batches then seal it to prevent bacterial growth. If you get a batch too small to pickle then eat it or freeze it. If you get a batch big enough to pickle then do it all at once. You may just end up pickling several times over the season.

Well, I'm planning to fry mine (yay!) so as I'm picking it, I'm slicing it an putting it in a bag in the freezer. I almost have enough for a meal for two now. :D

Here in the South, okra produces an abundance that just keeps on coming if you keep the young pods picked. How many plants do you have?

Um...a few? I thinned them out & some are now growing together in clumps, so I am not totally sure how many there are. At least 8-10.

Can I pickle 'em after they are frozen then dethawed??

I honestly don't know. I'm great at growing veggies, but not a good cook. I'll ask around.
