Okra Extender
You can prolong the storage life
of fresh okra by dipping it in 500
ppm of ascorbic acid for 5 min
utes, say experts with the
Univeristy of Georgia Extension
Service. This is about the same
as dissolving 500 mg of vitamin
C in a quart of water. Then air dry
and pack the okra in plastic bags
to store for up to a month in your
refrigerator.
Sharp Edges
Keep a sharp edge on spades,
hoes and other cutting tools, say
experts with the University of
Georgia Extension Service. This
make cutting through weed roots
and sod much easier.
