is my potato patch drowning or just thriving after all this rain?

Last week, my backyard turned into a mini swamp. The potatoes looked like they were at a pool party they didn’t sign up for. I started poking around, worried they’d all rot underground. But here’s the thing: I noticed the plants with raised beds handled the downpour way better. Their leaves stayed perky, and the soil drained faster. The ones in the low spots? Not so much. Soggy leaves, sad vibes. Now, I always mound up the soil around my potato plants. It keeps them happier when the sky won’t quit. Plus, I check for puddles after every storm. If I spot any, I poke a few holes for drainage. My potatoes are loving it—and so am I! #gardeningtips #potatopatch #rainyweather #backyardgarden #Gardening
