Do they grow along the ground like squash, too? Or do they need staking?
I guess this is stuff I could Google...
The only time they need staking is after a hurricane has blown them down.

You could, but then there wouldn't be this nice conversation!
Some okras grow really tall like corn. You can plant pumpkins amidst them and the okra will shade the pumpkins and they'll grow in around the okra.
