Gardening: Water everywhere in Oklahoma

We have plenty of experience dealing with drought and not enough water in Oklahoma; however, we do not normally have to deal with too much water. A big problem with all the rain is that I get all the weeds pulled, it rains, and I have more and different weeds. There are weeds this spring that I have never seen before. I have the biggest, healthiest, most prolific, dandelions, prostrate spurge, and Asiatic Dayflowers (not a flower but an aggressive weed) than I have ever had before. They probably floated in on the runoff from so much rain. At least they are easy to pull and hoe since the soil is so moist.
