Okra

Anyone any experience of growing okra? I planted it kind of at random, as
it was lying around and I'd never grown it before. Never tasted it
either,
actually.
I currently have 2 plants (I think I sold some at the summer fete) in the
greenhouse, still in quite small pots - both about 6" tall atm, but one
has
a bud that may be a flower but looking again today looks more like it may
be
a new leaf bud.
So ... what shall I do with them now?

I'm growing a new variety this year called Cajun Delight F1. It's been bred
for cooler climates. So far my plant is 1.5 foot tall and I've got some
small fruits on it.
When I was 11 years old I grew a plant in an unshaded greenhouse. It was the
best one I've ever grew. It was a good 3 or 4 foot tall with okra pods all
over it.
