Right. Some years we’ve had heavier rains, but more widely spaced in time. 2011 was pretty rough (floods), but, a lot of that rainfall was well upstream too.
I just looked at a couple holes I’d dug several days ago, when the forecast looked a bit more promising (to continue drying out). Said holes are ~10” deep, to transfer tomatoes into. They filled a couple days later, fluctuated a bit, and are still nearly full of water this morning, with rains a few hours to our west and headed our way. NWS says the rain gets here around noon... :-(
All the plants in the ground doing best are the ones I did NOT “plant deep”. (Best of all are those in pots.)
We need to wait for the rain to stop for much of anything.
I fear it’s going to decimate my tomato crop.
