Too much rain

[pintail_drake2004]

I sure wish it would stop raining for a week or so. Every time I plan to till the garden, we get another 2-4" of rain! I've replanted several of my tomatoes 2 and some 3 times already. I'm ready to get some plants in the ground! Now the forecast is calling for next 2 nights of frost. I covered some plants last night, and protected some fruit trees as well. I guess I can't complain too much, in So IL we normally don't have a "Spring" it usually goes from winter to scorching hot. This is just some of my plants ready to be planted, I replanted 2dz more tomatoes yesterday and plan on repotting a full flat (50) of peppers today.

Similar situation here but frustrating because I can’t get the aviary dry enough to turn and put down fresh mulch. There’s no way I would consider planting until at least Mother’s Day due to risk of frost/freeze. We lost and had to replant several plants last year during the Mother’s Day freeze.

I don't usually put my tomtoes out until the middle of April and usually still have to cover them with a bucket due to a late frost for a night or two. The first of May is generally safe for me.

Same here - basil and tomatoes go out in the beginning of May. Every time I've tried to cheat, a last minute frost kills the ones that are sitting outside.

Can we have some of your rain? It's been dry here. There's some forecast for next week.

I can't set tender stuff out until about Memorial Day.

You know it has to be either dry as a desert or flash floods. Just like too hot and too cold. It can't be in the middle.
