Glad to hear! It's been pretty hot. Two weeks ago we had near record heat with temps pushing 109-110 F. The last week or two, temps have cooled down noticeably to the low to mid 90's, but as the plant continues to get bigger, the droopiness during midday increases as well. A good watering in the evening around dusk revives the plant pretty well and the leaves perk up, although not completely. Only my ice cream seems to do this though, so I was curious if it was maybe a characteristic of the variety?
