High humidity affects gardening in different ways.
How rainy weather affects gardening
As a rule, with high humidity, the soil becomes oversaturated with water.
Because of this, the root system of plants cannot receive enough oxygen, as well as nutrients.
Therefore, the roots often begin to get sick and die.
Aerobic microorganisms are the basis of soil fertility and normal plant development in the garden.
Therefore, it is important to drain the water and raise the beds up so that the water drains.
It is also worth temporarily removing the mulch, as this also retains moisture in the soil and prevents evaporation.
What to plant in rainy weather
Despite the rain, the weather is warm, the days are long, and there is still time for the harvest to form in August.
Therefore, in August, you can grow radishes, spinach, arugula and mustard.
These plants love cold weather, so they can be grown closer to autumn.
These leafy greens grow very quickly and are ideal for late season harvesting.
