Some plants, especially the broccoli. Perks up afterward and it's developing normally. It's mulched like crazy and the soil's nice & damp and of perfect tilth. 80 degrees, sunny. Lots of rain in previous days. I seem to recall reading many years ago that this drooping routine can be due to some sort of mineral or nutrient imbalance. Anyone have any insight about this? Or, it's normal and never mind.

Hello, It doesn't like the heat.If the temperature remains elevated for a prolonged period it would be helpful to provide some shade.

From what I have read, Broccoli leaves that droop are quite normal in response to warm temperatures and advanced growth. Keep up your normal maintanence to enjoy your harvest!

Thank you and Happy Gardening! ~ Sarah
