Everything is dying and I haven't been able to figure out a solution. I'm not sure but is it too much water? I've gotten a lot of rain recently and so I haven't added additional water.

Here's pics. The first two are pepper plants. The last is a tomato.

We are in Central Texas on blackland prairie soil, and I know what you mean about a "lot of rain recently". Can't complain though after last year's drought!

Clay soil but I've done a number of amendments over the past couple years. and it's improved. It's a semi-raised bed too. My yard was flooded after the past few rains. No standing water in the garden, so I know it's better than I started with, but apparently not good enough.
My garden needs an umbrella, lol!

So far I've lost a tomatillo, bell pepper, and a tomato plant from this.
