WATSONVILLE, CA - Farmers in California, who had been hoping for an end to the drought, are now trying to deal with flooded fields and damaged crops after this winter's massive rains. At Lakeside Organic Gardens in Watsonville, a month of solid rain proved to be both a blessing and a curse. "We kinda have mixed feelings because we've been praying for water, but we weren't praying for it all to come at one time," says Dick Peixoto, owner of Lakeside Organic Gardens. Now Peixoto's fields are flooded.
