Rainy Season In Miami

[Garf]

It is officially the rainy season in Miami. This might sound good to some of you, but not so for the swamps of Miami. Miami was carved out from the Everglades, and mother nature has never forgotten this. Most days now, we will be getting rain in the afternoon, sometimes light, sometimes heavy. Bottom line, plants in the ground drown, plants in containers have the medium washed clean and the plants starve. Diseases and insects run rampant. The few tomatoes that ripen intact usually split after a rainstorm. Time to pack it in and wait for October.
