Love veggies? Me, too. And so does my friend Tim Waters, regional vegetable specialist at WSU Extension.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- What Extension is
- What it was like for Extension agents back in 1918

- One cool journey from community college all the way to a PhD
Resources you can use:
- Check out WSU Extension yourself (or look up Extension near you)
- Learn more about WSU research farms
- Find out how to a start a veggie garden yourself
- See some Prionid beetles and giant water bugs
- Even more giant water bugs! You won't believe how these guys breathe underwater and care for their eggs in this PBS Deep Look video
