Anyone tried growing okra? I tried some seeds and they germinated well

Grew it in the early 90's, when I worked near Newbury.
Grew it rooted the soil, in a cold frame, once they reached a size the
cover was removed and they carried on with no protection, also grew
Aubergines the same way, and Salsify in the open garden.
