okra and peppers will both grow in the summer heat
but I don't know how much production you will get planting them in a pot, especially the okra

Basil loves heat and will do just fine in a pot or windowbox. Ditto for chives, oregano, and mint. Remember to keep pinching back the herbs once they're established; if you let them flower, they'll keel over and die. Keep removing flowers and the plant will continue to grow.
Certain pepper varieties are okay in smaller spaces; habanero/scotch bonnet is a compact plant with good production even in smallish containers.

Okra's one of those things that's best to get from a freezer. You've clearly never picked okra before.
Peppers should do fine in pots, I have cayenne, sweet banana, jalapeno, and birds eye chili.
