Seems like you did not harden them off enough.. You need to keep a fan on the seedlings indoors so they are used to the wind and growing conditions.. The plants are so used to being pampered the rain just flattened them.. They should recover.. Maybe stake them and protect them from heavy rain.. But remember don't baby them, they will be weak and lose the fight with nature, let them get beat up but not that bad.. Joe

i use soil from my yard in containers as a base, but i amend it, and also, its sandy, but with organic matter. i add perlite and usually some aged leaf mold/compost and a handful of peat. this looks a bit too much like clay. clay can get hard as a rock and not let water penetrate, unless it rains for hours. i would cut the top foot or so off, and that side branch also, and remove the worst leaves. i had a 7ft tall mango frost damaged that died to the ground in January, it didnt show signs of life until June.... They can come back if its not totally dead.

Yep, I can't access page 2 of the posts (I haven't had trouble before). I contacted Houzz and they sent me their generic post. THEY DON'T CARE! Here is a copy of the email.
