Too much wet

We've had so much rain lately. It is either feast or famine. I hate to complain, but there has been a lot of rain. It eventually wreaks havoc on the plants, the grass, etc. And the snails seem to multiply trifold!
I found my Lc. Love knot in trouble and it had been doing so well. Just within days a brown spot appeared on a leaf, then the whole thing was going, along with a new growth that went mushy kaput, and a browned P bulb. I was going to post a "help" thread, but it was moving so fast I just went ahead and acted and cut off the rotting stuff. I hope I did OK with the surgery!
I'm moving a few others in out of the rain. Catts and such. I saw this "rain chain" at Lowes and thought it would be a cool hanger. Just finally bought it for my idea/quest to get some plants out of the rain quick like. But it will look cool out in the yard at some point.
