Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Okra will get very tall, (hibiscus family), and it has big leaves. I think 
it's one of the plants that doesn't take to transplanting well, so if you 
seed it early, do it peat pots. Presoaking seed will help too takes awhile 
for it to germinate otherwise.
Takes a pretty long HOT growing season, but once it starts, if you harvest 
continually, it'll produce till frost. One called Longhorn and/or Texas 
Cowhorn (heirloom) that will get long without getting woody.
(I like okra raw, so it has a hard time making it to the cook pot.) I don't 
know the sqft recommended spacing though.
