The message
from K contains these words:


One thing that isn't a problem ever is the amount of rain. Just
occasionally, we may get an inch of rain in a day, and we all ooh and
aah over it, but sheltering plants from the rain is not normally
something we would think of doing.

Rock plant enthusiasts/specialists often do, (with a sheet of glasss)
,usually in winter.

That's why I said 'normally'. Cacti similarly. And isn't peach tree curl
thought to be associated with getting rained on? But we wouldn't shelter
our radishes and french beans.
