Okra Good in Gardens
Okra or gumbo is a desirable addition to home gardens. It has long been grown in the South and is growing in popularity in the North. It can be started in a heated bed or greenhouse and transplanted, then grown in well drained soil. The pods are edible and must be picked young. It is used in soups, stews, or served boiled or baked, and can be canned or dried for winter use. The USDA has republished Farmers Bulletin 232 Culture and Uses of Okra.
