I have way too much rain here in PA. The ground is totally saturated and water is just laying in big puddles in the farm fields.
Last year the May strawberry crop was an almost total loss and I'll bet that happens again this year. Last year I was able to buy one quart of local berries and then they were done.

I hear you
I didn't need to water at all last Summer here in PA. My tomatoes didn't start ripening until around the 7th of August, including the cherries. I planted a Reliance grape vine a few weeks ago. It was healthy when planted but died within a week. The leaves shriveled up and no more signs of life. It hasn't been below 38 degrees at night and the only other possibility I can think of is the Black Walnut trees nearby. There is a wild grape that grows vigorously each year within 20 feet of the new plant. My bet was too much rain
