Garden was beautiful this year until the last rain. We had standing water in our garden for 2 or 3 days in one spot. Now our cabbage plants are weeping and our pepper plants and weaping. I"m worried they will die. Now the water is gone, but the ground is still awfully wet. Should I worry about it, and is there something I can do? Thanks, Matt

The landlord is right about cultivating as soon as you can. I am canning kraut and tomato's now. Will finish up my cabbage crop tonight. It done better than it has in years here, but I layed the horse manure to it and watered during the dry spell. Lots of cabbage heads between 7 to 10 pounds. I shredded two the other night and they made 11 quarts of kraut. Haven't got all of it jarred up yet tonight. For those peppers lay a little ammonium nitrate to them and plow it in. Most the time it will save them

I plant chinese bed/dutch bed style, rake soil into slightly raised bed to plant- have shallow walkway for excess water runoff and stepping around plants. If you have row planting try to dig/scrape center of walkway area to around plants that could use a little mounding- corn, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers. this will give a little drainage. RN.

cultivate it as soon as you can. this will help it dry and prevent mold. grab a hand full of soil and cup then close your hand. if the ball of soil crumbles you can cultivate, otherwise you'll just make a mess
