I am in Texas and well familiar with heat/humidity and what goes with them. Are you looking at your plants early morning or mid day. They look fine to me except a bit leggy which will probably correct itself. Mine to the same thing in mid day heat and that is normal. One thing I would suggest to prevent later problems is to allow the soil to dry a bit between waterings. It will not hurt the plants if soil is only barely moist or a bit dry. Then when you water, do it deeply. Its hard for you with a raised bed to do this I know. (I would have stuck the plants in the soil rather than a raised bed). But keeping the plant roots constantly wet or soggy is not good. Just damp is fine. It will help hold water better and more consistantly if you add some loam to your bed or just some of your native soil.
