lots of late summer rain

The cactus seedlings that were starting outdoors this spring are starting to show their adult forms. We have had plenty of rain on a regular basis and I doubt if the seedlings have had a chance to completely dry out for the past 4 weeks. Even with all of this water the seedlings are healthy and showing no signs of mold. They are probably fine with the wet conditions because there is also plenty of sun and wind. If it stops raining I think I will let them stay dry because they are growing large enough to have a good supply of stored water to live on.
