Default Wilting, slimy leaves?

I am trying to remain positive, but my plants are starting to look pathetic. This is Druzba on the right, and Black from Tula on the left. Just last week they were lush. ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21372893715.524999.jpg

These are the leaves of Druzba

And here is Kellogg's Breakfast on the right and Brandywine Suddith's on the left, both showing way too much leg for my liking.ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21372894020.119761.jpg

And a close up of KB leaves ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21372894061.671846.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk 21372894076.403012.jpg

Oh, and kill me now...my Black Cherry is starting to feel some pain as well ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21372894134.432236.jpg

And if that's not enough, now this junk has to mess with my (r to l) Camp Joy, Green Doctors, and Sungold F1? And the BB&B is still feeling pain. He does look better, but he is nearly naked.

I just sprayed (for the umpteenth time) with the dilute bleach spray. Once it dries, I will spray with the Exel LG and Actinovate. Might think about going back to the Macozeb and Copper, but I am not sure what's best at this point. I know I am not growing these plants for foliage, but at this rate...I am scared that the fruit will be next. Argh! The rain must stop.

If misery loves company then you have plenty. It has been raining so much here the last few days that I can't even walk out into my garden. I can see busted fruit from a distance and there is nothing I can do right now to alleviate the situation as we are in a flood watch through Friday. I will be spraying again with the bleach spray as soon as I can but I'm afraid it will be too little too late with this weather. My plants already look like palm trees with no leaves on the bottom 2/3rds of the plants and I fear losing most of the rest.

The best we can do now is hope for a break from the rain so the plants have a chance to recover if possible.

We finally have a dry sunny day here in Raleigh. The garden is a bog!

There was no rain yesterday, and today looks to be rainless as well. It's muggy, but I'll take it.

I sprayed Exel LG and Actinovate early yesterday morning. Should I spray anything or should I just let these poor plants try to power through? I feel like they might need a foliar feed -- some SeaCom PGR, perhaps? -- since some of them are less than that happy green color.

Hope you all had a good holiday.
