I have just started a 'Salsa' and herb garden in pots on my patio and am concerned about them 'drowning' with all our current rain. I have tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, lettuce, berries and herbs. They have drainage holes in the pots. Is that enough? |
If you planted in potting soil rather than garden soil, your plants should be safe. Potting soil drains a lot faster than garden soil. There's not much you can do to control the rain but having your plants in pots is better than having them in a garden bed that will soak up moisture from nearby ground as well as the water from the rain. I think your salsa garden will weather the storm without problem. |
