Its not so much the DTM that's the problem in a northern garden but the cooler nights. Okra needs lots of heat and not just during the daytime. I've grown it and gotten a few pods but in my garden its more of a novelty than a productive crop. Very much will depend on the weather in your zone 4 garden but I say you won't know till you give it a try.
