The Rain ... It's about the best thing that could ever happen. Did you ever notice, when you water your tomatoes, all summer long, and they just won't grow. Then a little T-Storm rolls by, only about a half inch of rain. Then those tomato plants go wild (trees do the same, only in slow motion). Without going into to much detail. ... . The rain, sort of dumped a bunch nitrogen (the main ingredient, in our atmosphere) on your plants.
Just imagine, if a bunch of tornadoes, kicked up dust all the way across Kansas. ... . what a bonus of nutrients.
Just have good drainage, next week, you'll have another problem, and miss watering
