Too much rain too often

[b54red]

After being in drought conditions for years down here we seem to have broken the pattern this summer. We have had a decent amount of rain most of the summer cutting the need for watering drastically. The problem has been the last two weeks. I set out most of my fall tomato plants in the past 3 weeks and then about 2 weels ago it really started raining. It rained every day for 10 days and when it wasn't raining it was misty and damp. I think that I received more rain in the past month than all of last year. For a while the plants loved it but I was unable to keep any kind of fungicide on the plants. I did manage to spray with a dilute clorox spray between showers one day about a week ago. It stopped raining yesterday and I was able to inspect my plants closely. I have some disease that I am hoping is gray mold since it has affected the black tomatoes more than the others. I know it could be Late Blight but I have had it in the past and this looks a bit more like gray mold. I also have some moldy looking growth on many of the stems. I sprayed early this morning with the bleach solution and will apply Daconil this afternoon in hopes of stopping whatever it is but after today the chance of rain jumps back up again. I'm hoping the treatments will keep my plants hanging on long enough to get to the normally dryer and cooler weather of fall.

Despite the affect on the tomatoes I am more than grateful to see some real rain for a change. The bell peppers in my garden have absolutely gone crazy with this rain. It looks like I will have a bumper year for bells with the fall actually outproducing the spring and early summer.
