Wet.... that isn't a problem here :-)  We got our first rain since, geez, I think it was last year sometime......I made irrigation lines and water via irrigation lines at sunrise to prepare the plants for the hottest part of the day, and then check in the afternoon for any sign of heat stress.  If they look stressed, I get a garden hose, run it until the boiling water is gone and then carefully water the soil being careful not to get water on the leaves (otherwise the sun practically boils the water and burns the leaves).  The sunflowers and the tomatoes are the ones that have just a tad tougher time if I haven't watered deep enough in the morning.
 
At least it still gets really cool overnight :o)

I was just wondering the other day how your potatoes were going. When
did you plant? Mine are blooming also. It was so wet, I hope I got
them hilled in time. I'm not much of a potato grower, but getting
better every year.
