Motherland Okra (Nkruma tenten okra): Useful information and Important Growing Tips for Success

In this video, I am sharing very useful growing information and important growing tips about growing the Nkruma ten ten okra at home.
If you are interested in trying a different type of okra, consider growing this rare okra originally from west Africa known as the motherland or Nkruma ten ten okra. This heirloom okra with mammoth leaves did so well in my zone 9b garden in the USA. The leaves, flowers and pods of this okra are edible.

Those leaves are beautiful. I bet they'd be even more beautiful sauteed with onions n capsicum. 🙌

Good job Yaje. Please I really want bitter stem really for planting , how can I contact you. I am in California.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

I wish I had some stems I could send to you. Unfortunately, this year I did not do the stem propagation work because I lost my dad and had to travel home to Africa for the funeral etc.
