Rain Rain Go Away

My garden is drowning. since Thursday we easily had 4" of rain today is Sunday. a The weeds are shooting up but whole areas of my garden is drowning . Walking out into the garden involved sinking in the mud and losing a shoe. If it ever dries out I'll be tilling in 20 % of it or so and re-planting. There are some plants taking full advantage of the swampy goo that used to be my garden. the cabbages are heading up . the peas are sprawling out . The beans are growing leafy canopies . The spinach is curling up and dying . The turnips , carrots, and beets are for all intents gone . I'll till that area under and replant if the night rains ever stop. I'm tempted to put on my swim suit and wade in and pull the weeds which I suspect are wild rice , cranberries and lillie pads . I put on my mud bogging boots and actually saw crawfish in between the rows. It's very obvious that I tilled in a couple of tons of manure . The standing water is absolutely foul filled with algae feasting It stinks worse than the manure ever dreamed of .
