Help, terrential downpour!

PA Wolf · June 6, 2016

This is my first post here. I am a first year gardener. I am in central pennsylvania and yesterday we had some very heavy rainfall. My tomato plants are in 5 gallon buckets with 60% potting mix 40% manure. They have thrived thus far, but today they look wilty at the top. Today has been gorgeous, sun all day. Am I being overly paranoid?

Also, my pepper plant's leaves are rubbery or waxy feeling. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for welcoming me to the group!

Do you happen to have any photos? That is always helpful.
