Brocolli and salad seedlings

 I usher in a first month of 2013 with crop  failures. (Talking like a  farmer who has acres of farms:-))). For 6 weeks it was raining non- stop in my state, as a result thousands of people had to be evacuated due to flood. Luckily my village is not involves. This is the first time the weather is so unpredictable and the downpour is very heavy. ( Blame it on global warming). My plant were not as lucky as my village, some of them died because of  mildew,  some because of overwatering (nature too generous) and last but not  least : it becomes a sheep lunch courtesy of a neighbour from hell. ( He let loose of his sheep so that he did not have to feed it.)
