Andy you said-
"The climate is the best. I LOVE the rain. The more the better.As an avid gardener, you can't get much better in my mind. "
i am curious why it is you think gobs of constant rain is so great for gardening. my tomatoes are rotting and full of mold and mildew because of the rain, the rain leaches all the nutrients out of the soil constantly, i have to amend the soil consistently (which by the way is costly and time consuming) just to maintain my garden. the rot and the mold and the mildew that rain causes in my garden is the worst problem. so many of my plants have been killed this year. i wonder what it is you do to keep the mold and mildew off of your plants, because i must be missing something here. sulfur spraying and baking soda does not work for me.
