Is it ok to plant flowers in wet ground?
+3
It won't quit raining and I want to get my flowers in the ground before I loose them? After I dig my hole and loosen the dirt underneath, I fertilize and add water as instructed. The water just sits there, the ground is so saturated it doesn't absorb the water.

If the ground is to wet they will rot.Fertilizing should not be done until the plants have established .Try opting for container planting if the ground is to wet.
Janet is correct.
When it's lightly raining is a wonderful time to plant...less stresson the plants. Just make sure you are clean tools...wipe w baby wipes.
Damp soil is a great thing to plant in, but not really wet soil. The plant will not make it. I like the above idea of container planting.
too much water will cause the roots to rot. if this is the norm for your yard, i would consider raised beds, containers, straw bale gardens.
