I've got all my tomatoes in really deep (2ft) sandy raised beds on top of ledge, but have to replant about 24 tomatoes since 8" of rain in 2 weeks has gotten the ones with smaller roots systems looking pretty bad.

I've had to plant lettuce twice (should have put in starts rather than seeding), the chard and beets are finally coming up but the carrots disappeared once I pulled off the burlp (and they had been germinating nicely). Radishes don't seem to be doing anything. At least the squash and cukes look OK (greens and curcurbits are in raised beds as well, just not as deep) but it will be another month before they fruit.

Kale is just not getting big, spinach is bolting, Asian greens pretty small and flea beetle damage - would be OK if I had lettuce to mix but they need to get bigger to sell by them selves so pretty much no spring crop here either.

Brook, maybe this is your RICE year.

I'm just getting some of my plants in, got 16 tomato plants today, up to 30-35. Neither James or I have had enough energy to get much done this year. At this time, we have a total of 19 peppers, 19 eggplant and 30-35 tomatoes. Of course, all the plants are SUPER BIG, since I started so early and planned on having them plants around Mother's Day.

We have alot of farmers that tile their fields, but I haven't done any on my farm, it is sloped enough not to need to. If I had ponding in the fields, I would consider, but I don't have much of that problem.
