Chia plants after heavy rain

These chia plants did great as cover crops planted on the back (dry) side of the berm. With all the heavy rains this week, the plants fell over. This was about 8-10 feet tall, but I'm surprised at how shallow the roots appear to be. Maybe I need to explore further b/c shallow roots and drought tolerant don't seem a fit.

This is definitely something I'll re-seed next spring.
