Too much rain?

A novice question here.

It's been raining hard since Sunday, off and on.

I planted out my hardened off runners on Saturday + sowed seeds straight in. Is this rain likely to kill them off? Back to the drawing board?

Cheers

The hardened off ones should be fine. The seeds will have a possibility of rotting - depends on how free draining your soil is really.

Thanks Philskin.
Temps on the balmy South Coast have been really mild at night since the snow. Averaging 7-8 C over the past 2 weeks.
