I'm germinating some okra sprouts. Anyone have any experience growing these?

I've never grown them, but had to pick those motherfuckers when they were done growing. You gotta wear gloves cuz they stick you and make you itch REAL bad. My grandpa grows em.

They like heat and lots of water. They grow fast to, once it sprouts take like 50-65 days till it's ready. Also, the germ process takes forever. Somethan like 15-20 days.

Okay, my MUCH PROMISED PICTURES! I will be honest, I haven't found pictures this good on the internet thus far! If I get enough responses, I will post an in-depth journal including, but not limited to, my curious observations during this very interesting plant's lifecycle! Enjoy!

Okra, 70 days into veg. June 25, 2008.



Okra fruits up close


Okra with me holding flower that fell off, leaving the fruit... Interesting how it protects the fruit until it gets large enough to grow on its own.


Okra flower, lying on wooden railing.


Herbs growing at the base... I love this flower pot. Basil and dill, et al?


Herbs at base. Mmmm...


Smaller okra plant. Germinated at same time as large one, but kept it in an 8 ounce party cup for the past 2 months.
Neglected!


Another angle and sort of a closeup of the okra vegetables/fruit growing.
