Chinese okra is also called edible luffa or angled luffa. It need warm temps to germinate 75F or better and is a vining plant related to cucumbers. You grow them about the same way. Pick the fruit when they are still fairly small, 6 to 8" long. You need to peel them before eating. Very popular in some asian cuisines.
Here is at least 1 recipe I've liked.

Actually a very tasty veg, don't be too spun about the mistake. Just go ahead and get a pack of clemson spineless and grow both.
