After that fk load of rain we had in Marksville, ALL 16 of my tomato plants are now toast! I've never had that happen before. They are all wilted up, is there any way to save them or should i just dig them up and start over?

Dig a ditch next to the bed and try to drain the soil?

if the area drains ok, they will be fine...just give them a few days after the rain is done and they will perk right up...

You mean some of this?



People often question raised beds but that's one of the upsides they bring.

Nah, wouldn't make me mad. I just broke some tomatoes and plants are loaded. Fried some freshly picked egg plant last night, too.
