Waterlogged

It's been raining. A lot. I put the seedlings out over the weekend, thinking they would be better off outside, where it might rain and keep the peat pots from drying out. They sure didn't dry out:

This is supposed to be a tray of basil plants. The tray was completely full of water when I got home. This is after the next shower, later in the afternoon. Then more rain came along and filled up the trays again, so I had to drain them out a second time.
The grass and weeds are going insane. Can't cut them until it dries up and warms up!
The good news is that three broccoli plants survived, and actually seem to enjoy the soggy conditions.
