I am unsure of what you want to do, but I have made a reproducible example
that might help.
zz <- "Date Number.of.Rain.Days Total.rain Start.of.Rain..i.
Start.of.Rain..ii. Start.of.Rain..iii.

library(reshape)
library(ggplot2)
Data <- read.table(text=zz, header = TRUE)
df1 <-data.frame(Data)
df2 <- melt(df1 , id = c('Date', 'Number.of.Rain.Days'))
df3 <- df2[-grep("Total.rain", df2$variable),]
qplot(Date,value, data=df3) +facet_wrap(~variable)

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so
little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us
feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the annoying little
