Default Is it too late to plant Okra?

Did not do much gardening this year due to finances.
I've found in the past that I spent more on water than I would have if
I'd just bought veggies at the store... but am considering putting some
Okra into some 5 gallon pots, then sticking them in the greenhouse when
the weather gets cold. I plan to "top" them frequently to get them to
turn bushy instead of getting to be 10' tall like they often do.

Comments?

I don't think so. I had volunteers springing up as late as August last year
that grew large enough to start producing (shudder...)
