Default Re: How much rain can my plants stand?

The only problem I have personally had is heavy winds after a good rain. It's my theory that that the plants takes up a lot of water during a big rain making it heavier than usual and more prone to blowing over or snapping in half during strong winds. Of course I have no scientific proof of this, it's just what has happened several times in my garden after a big rain.

A few years ago when we had the heavy rains I had one planter that had standing water for days and the plants showed no Ill effects from it, so I wouldn't worry about it.
