Dealing with okra/cotton root rot

Hello, readers. As you may or may not have noticed, I took last summer off from writing gardening articles; Sweet Hubby was “indisposed” for several months so I had to take up some of the slack here at our Two Acre Paradise/Three Dog Circus for a while.
In the summer of 2019, I noticed that my okra plants exhibited a condition heretofore not present in my gardens. After researching, I concluded it was okra/cotton root rot. It was late in the season so I didn’t give it much thought.
