Here are some of the things I like to do in the Garden after a good rain. Empty your rain gauge, or add a cut flower. Remove basins from containers and allow them to dry out for a few days. Prop up and stake any plants that have fallen over, Peppers are especially vulnerable this time of year. Look for any fruit or vegetables that have fallen to the ground. Harvest any seeds you want to dry. Tomatoes can split after a heavy rain so consider harvesting the ripe or near-ripe fruit. If you have rain barrels, fill up buckets and watering cans. This is the best time to pull weeds as the ground will be soft and they should be very easy to remove.
