Allotment has standing water and weeds are rampant. Not much I can do atm.
My plastic greenhouse (Wilco) tok a buffering, even in my secluded garden.
So much so, all my trays of seedlings were thrown to the floor. Lost a lot
of peas and toms. Most annoying, my sweetcorn (indoors) all suddenly
keeled
over and died. Tips of leaves brown, base of stems transparent. Too
much/little water? Thoughts?

Allotment probably needs double digging where water is standing.

Like Mogga has said. Heavy clay. Site is at the bottom of a hill. It isn't
'standing' rain water but the water table rising above the surface. Even in
the summer, if you dig down a foot or so, there is the water.
