I guess I could do a few things to make it drain better. The reason I didn't was because Florida was in a drought and I didn't want to lose any moisture from the soil. I didn't expect a solid week of continuous rain.

Holes right above the soil line sound like a good idea. That way the plants wouldn't be under water and excess rain could spill out before it had a chance to really sink into the beds.

Maybe next year.
