Drip irrigation two hours in the morning and the same in the heat of the afternoon.

An old timer once told me okra loves two things, all the sun and all the water you can give it. These plants stay consistantly damp under the mulch with hand watering both late afternoon and first thing in the morning. That's why I'm wondering about the nematodes. It was hot last July too and the okra didn't droop as much as this. This is a typical nematode pattern. Guess I'll find out when it's time to pull up the plants.
