Topic: Will my tomatoes survive this weekend's heavy rain???

[Lost-The-Plot]

It could wait no longer - yesterday, my tomatoes were lovingly put into thier final growing pots and have gone out. HOWEVER. The forecast for the weekend is heavy rain. So should I bring them all into the conservatory? Our greenhouse is up but no glass in yet, so that's not an option. :-\

probably more the wind to worry about than the rain (which can come as soon as it likes for me). Make sure they're staked and tied in, and maybe use a windbreak

If they are still quite small, 6" to a foot, it might be a good idea to mulch them as heavy rain can cause a lot of splash back onto the lower leaves... which interferes with the photosynthesis...  :-\

that's interesting! I'll pop out and get that sorted now.
It is getting very windy here...
