OKRA OBSESSION: GROWING AND UTILIZING THIS INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR
THUR JUNE 9, 2022 @ 10:00-11:00AM
LIVE ZOOM CLASS
PRESENTER: ROBERT “SKIP” RICHTER
FREE

All things okra!  From history to its unique uses across the globe, you’ll learn how to grow okra here, which varieties we can’t live without, how to deal with nematodes and other pests, and how to cook with it.  Presenter Skip Richter will also cover some interesting okra research and the role small scale producers and home gardeners (like you!) are playing in improving okra’s future. Warning: The speaker is not responsible for any okra addiction that participants may experience, but he will provide helpful culinary and non-culinary outlets for managing the effects.
