Great Article & good information. I especially like the idea of eating them fresh from the vine. It sounds like the way we do summer squash. I like chelle's idea of growing it as an arbor vine for shade; and farmerdill's growing it as 'vine okra'. I also like the picture of the teepee! Good information all around: Thanks everyone; it's only 54 degrees here today so this helps me plan and get educated at the same time!
