    I would venture to guess you over watered. I know you don't think you did but I maintain that you probably did. Get a moisture meter at a nursery to use. It will tell you if you should water.

    Are they wilting and laying over? then waterthem,thats the only way to leach the fertilizer out unless you want to start over with new soil.If they are potted it may be they do need water,no matter how much rain you got.Rain really only helps plants in the ground,those potted don't get nearly as much water.If they are shade keep them in shade if they need lots of sun move them back some from direct sun and see if they will recover.Me I hardly ever give up on a plant,and rarely ever loose one.But there is always the first time and the second ect so hopefully that helped you some.

    You should try the tower garden. So you wont have to worry aboutyour plants dien and all this mess. Tower Garden® is versatile enough to grow almost any crop, including fruits and vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce, herbs, and flowers.

    Plus, thanks to its aeroponic technology and specially formulated Tower Tonic®, you can produce these highly nutritious fruits and vegetables in less time than it takes in soil. Gourmet lettuce and other leafy greens grow quickly and can usually be harvested just 3 weeks after transplanting. Honestly my friend has one and it is truly amazing!

    you could check to see if any of the roots are exposed, maybe with all that rain the soil get washed away to exposed the root, that will affect the growth of the plant if you notice any exposed root add some soil around the root to cover it up and you should see some improvement. good luck
