5 Tips to Save Your Vegetable Garden After Too Much Rain

We've had heavy rain in the Midwest, and it drowned my Shishito pepper plant. Today, my eggplant is drooping. I've been so upset about this.

Very cute I mean thanks for the advice 🙏🏽

when this vid came out we were in 3 years La nina that changes global weather patterns some enter drought some enter flood. also solar activity was weakest in 200 years what leads to high cosmic rays what can seed clouds. and we are in a grand solar cycle a cycle what we see every 350-400 years, this one more short lived than the last one making up only three 11 year cycles 2020-2053, last one before was 6-7 11 year cycles, 11 year average, poles flip and full is 22 average sun pole flip and flip back and currently we are now dealing with a strong el nino what finally easing off, still dealing effects of Tonga, nasa said about 6-7 months ago expect it to effect us over next few years, tonga added 10% extra water in to the upper atmosphere, that bad as it is as at the peak solar activity in this first cycle but also effect ozone over the next few years too. then we heading in to a deep low solar activity and if forecast is right far worse than what we seen so far. even the NOAA say All weather on Earth, from the surface of the planet out into space, begins with the Sun. Space weather and terrestrial weather (the weather we feel at the surface) are influenced by the small changes the Sun undergoes during its solar cycle. Small changes

My tomatoes split! 😭

Up here in AK we have had rain for at least a week straight. It's "paused" for a few hours here and there but then it resumes with a vengeance. I placed two plastic egg crate things over my tatsoi growbox. Lets a bit of light in and has stopped my soil from getting besotted

I live in a tropical area and After rain we get a lot of grass in every inch of my garden. If we remove them then they grow again. What can I do in this situation, any suggestions?😔

We had rain for entire summer. All vegetables and fruit is destroyed.

My strawberry plant just got flooded and I’m currently in a panic. This is my first time ever taking care of strawberries and they’ve been doing so well, so I’m really determined to save them. I woke up to really strong rain splashing soil OUT of the pot and a huge pool of water collecting in the pot. I quickly brought in my strawberries but they were no longer draining well so we had to pour out so much of the water that collected on top. Does anyone with more experience in gardening have any advice on what to do to fix this mess? 😅

I definitely Lol’d when you said skunk keeps throwing mulch out of the garden 😂 how annoying, hilarious and cute. And strange 😂😂

I agree. That lettuce is friggin hot! 🍆🥰 Haha

We just had 5 straight days of HEAVY rain here that has effectively killed a lot of my garden. and it wasnt so much the water, but more so the wind and just how violent the rain was, a lot of stuff I had fell off, some plants I had on shelfs and such fell off and spilled ut of their pots, some stuff fell on top of another, my tomato plant stalk got broken (this happenend right at the time I had to start supporting it, so getting hit by such a strong storm for a prolongued time effectively killed my tomatoes.

I am so sad TnT

Cool tips but I'm in Florida and my foot high raised bed is under about half a foot of water 😭

I live in Seattle. Getting sunshine is abnormal the same way rain is abnormal to you.

My 1st try with veg plants in containers in 8a NC. Forecast this week, about every day showers/T-storms!! Yesterday, it was suppose to rain 1pm, I put off watering in am since dirt was moist. It did not rain hard/rather little. This morning my plants were DRY. Freak time! Watered yet T-storm due later. My worry was about root rot during these times being a novice. Plants are under the overhang of roof. HOT days here. Have 9 plants LOL. Toms, cus, squash/zuc, basil healthy w/fruit appearing. Healthy thus far. Each fruit showing are my babies LOL. I guess if I'm worried at some point I'll put granulated organic fert, OR would 5.1.1. fish fert, or?? Best NPK would be helpful. ENJOYED your great video. btw: I'm from rural SanDiegoCo orig. TY

I have not added mulch because of the amount of rain we are getting. Im in Tulsa, Oklahoma and its on a daily basis right now. My plant leaves are yellowing. Can I foliar spray liquid fertilizer witth fish emulsion twice weekly when the rain stops just until it stops raining daily here ? Thank you.

Thanks!

What about healthy mulched leaves or straw?

Hi Ben from Noosa Australia, it has been pissing rain here for like 6 months . No problem but the bugs here are bullshit. I have a caterpillar farm. Please help

Praying for little rain so i can water with clean water this summer

Thanks, I was about to get some umbrellas out and fix them over my plants.

Watching this from the Pacific Northwest, where I need all the rain tips I can get.

I’m surprised about citrus not liking a lot of water since Florida gets so much and grows so much citrus

i dont cara for plants i care FOR MY RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its so big

Do a lot of nutrients wash out or is it negligible. It rains here everyday probably about an hour or two in the Caribbean

HELP! My cucumbers and zucchini got flooded during tropical storm Elsa. I moved them back and they still got hit! Can I repot them? I’m sooo new to all of this. Can I save em? Or just give up? They were just started to produce a lot of fruit. ☹️

I know the skunk is being a menace but when you said what he was doing i laughed alot lmao

0 tips how to actually SAVE overwatered plants. I can’t find any anywhere. So just let the plant die ? 😭

Thanks for the tips! What are your thoughts on transplanting in the rain? I have some tomatoes that really need to get in the ground, but I worry the rainy and cooler weather will shock them too much.

I've paid for a community plot of garden this year and just found that they gave me one of the 2 plots that flood. I planted bush bean seeds last week, but now after tons of rains, I'm afraid they're ruined before they ever get started. Haven't planted tomatoes and peppers yet thank God! What can I do to fix the ground so this doesn't happen again?

I will not like just because u said it and u should earn it 🙄

Tq sir... great video

Would love to see what you do to fix your bean plant! Lovely lettuce 😋

i love your channel because every time i have a question you lowkey answer it without me having to ask for you to put it in a video lol. Like I just potted a blueberry plant and i remember you said its a shallow root plant and lettuce is a shallow root plant so now i dont have to worry too much about the rain later today :)

Rain is ok as long as the plants still get the warm (sunlight). Getting the fruits (tomatoes, chillies, eggplants , etc) , however can be really challenging. Nutrition in later case doesn't matter.

The idea that nutrients can be washed out of the soil is not true IF you're looking after your soil properly. If you use non-organic liquid fertilisers then the nutrients are just sitting there waiting to be washed away. If you're feeding your soil properly & using organic methods then the nutrients are stored safely in the bodies of microorganisms such as bacteria & fungi. These guys cling on to the soil particles so can't be washed away by rain then they exchange nutrients with the plant via the roots, so no nutrient depletion!

My butterbaby squash seedlings just fell over after the rain :( i've repotted them 2 weeks ago and they were growing healthily... until the rain.

Your loquat tree!!!!

Should try live in tropical country like Malaysia. Almost everyday got heavy rain till sometimes, can be flooding. Really challenging to manage it. Any additional tips?

Man I love your show. I’m a truck driver and hour podcasts get me through long drives. I just wish the podcasts were longer lol. I see you got a Subpod too man and that’s awesome. I had to buy two and another for my mom.

Anyway, I’ve never heard this mentioned but I figured I would ask you before the other podcasters I listen to.

I recently discovered the importance of pH in water. And I noticed my rain water is nowhere near the 6.5 mark.

So if I add an acid (General hydroponics pH Down), do you think I am doing any harm to my garden, which in turns sends it to me? Thanks man.

Kevin Espiritu = Attracted to his own lettuce

Would I bring my peppers in to a more covered area when its raining? I know that peppers prefer hotter/drier conditions

Came here because I thought about growing lettuce in a heavy rainy spot so now that I'm attracted to lettuce, I will

What is a hurricane is coming? Should you cover the garden?

I dont know if you bought the pots from the store or you personally made them but I just love them....I'm going to make my lettuce pot exactly like yours ...tha k God I found your video👍
