We've had temps in excess of 100º for the past week, at least. Prior to that we had temps in the upper 90s. Most of my veggies are really stressed, eventhough I'm watering them more frequently and feeding them regularly. It's quite depressing to see everything so perky when I leave for work, but then dead looking when I get home. My poor zucchini is the worst! Even the cantaloupes (muskmelon) get weepy in the heat, which starts at around 11AM. For those of you in hot weather, is this normal? Is the weeping the plants coping mechanism for the heat?
