Raised beds and rain

Hello all,

New here as well as to gardening this year.

I have 2 raised beds with vegies in them (tomatoes, cucumber, squash, strawberry, pepper and zuchini).

Been doing good so far, just getting in some tiny little squash and loving it, but well it's april here in CA and we are getting some rain. Is there anything I need to do for my raised beds when it comes to rain? Should it be covered if there is going to be a lot of rain? Everything is either caged or staked, but not sure if all of this April rain will hurt anything if left uncovered.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Nope. Nada. Nothing.

Raised beds are by the nature of their design, meant to drain. Just another benefit of raising plants above grade...

S'all good...
