All of mine succumbed to fungus/whatever during the cold spell that

Remember that okra is of African origin, and needs really hot
weather to do well -- tropical weather, in fact. It's widely
grown in the steamy summer climate of the American southeast --
think Louisiana gumbo.

From what I understand of the British climate, okra would be a
dead loss out of doors in the UK. It might do in a sunny
greenhouse.
