Hi, probably a silly question, but I planted some peas, columbine and transferred some mint outside today, didn't water, and now it's going to rain quite a bit. Should those all do ok (except the mint... Nothing takes that stuff out. ) ?

I often intentionally plant before a rain so everything gets a good soaking.

I think that would be fine, most plants love a good rain
