Community garden members are asking if there is anything they can do for their plants that are suffering from the recent rainfall in the Sioux Falls area. Tomatoes appear wilted, will onions rot, etc.
Is there anything they can do other than wait for the warm weather coming this week?
Minnehaha County South Dakota
Expert Response
Unfortunately, this is pretty much a wait and see situation. Pulling any mulch away from plants in soggy soil may help the ground to dry out more quickly. See also Flooded gardens for safety concerns.
