Jim relates this to me as we're off to the DQ (my favorite summertime hang-out) and I recall that I need to blog about the rain. Most people say to us "Isn't this rain doing wonderful things for the plants?" And we say "NONONO - Not for the food-produce! But weeds love it!" Weeds have found ways to adapt to drought, flooding, pulling, mowing, agent orange (Roundup) and the like over the thousands of years they've had to develop. That's why they can exist as undesirable foliage located in a place (pretty much anywhere) where something else is supposed to grow. Yes, weeds love it as the rain is choking out the roots of the produce and leaving all the soil (or mud) for the weeds. Perhaps we should have planted kelp. Or, my advice, learn to eat weeds. Dandelion is great for the liver and it makes pretty good wine.
