Plants grew from ground water and aquifers. Before the water cycle began, God (as already stated) provided a mist from the ground (dew? spings? geysers?) according to Gen 2:5-6.
Although there is no mention of rain before the flood, I am not convinced that there was not rain. Gen 6-8 are the first record of rain, but not of necessity the first rain. The rains in Gen 6-8 are severe to say the least. 40 days and nights of rain, the fountains of the deep opening up -- it must have been a sight to behold with awe from aboard the ark and with fear from the outside.

It is said by many that there was a great underground aquifer that supplied the vegitation with the much needed water. And that there were streams and other pools of fresh water for people to drink. And that the pre-flood earth and the post-flood earth looked very different. Some have said that it was then that the earth's continents were formed, and that prior to it the earth was what is called pangia - all earth was in one place not broken apart like it is now. And that a giant earthquake or even a meteor hit the earth and simultaneously broke the underground aquifer, broke the earth up into continents and dimolished the dinosaurs.

God gave us these nice big brains capable of rational thought. We can use them to understand scientific processes. And yet some people insist on living in ignorance.
Of course there was rain before the ark. I would be more skeptical about the ark story than the fact that the earth could survive without rain for millions of years!
God must be apalled at some people's consistent refusal to use their brains.

Genesis 2:10 now their was a river issueing out of eden to water the garden, and from there it began to be parted and it became as it were 4 heads.
Then Adam was put there to cultivate the ground. He wasn't just given everything. He had to make his own clothes, build a house or live in a cave?
Genesis 2:6But a mist would go up from the earth and it watered the entire surface of the gound.
this was before Adam
Genesis 2:7 then he formed the man out of the dust, how did he come to be alive????
and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.
so the reverse would be true, when that breath of life is gone?
He would go back to lifeless dust.
Genesis 3:19 God says that is exactly what was going to happen.

1) The biblical "40 days and 40 nights" wasn't the only time it ever rained.
2) Most trees can't survive if the water is salty, they rely on fresh water just like you do.
3) Man, R U dense.

It's "allegory": Galatians 4, and "mystery": 20 times.
Written "aforetime" for y(our) "learning": Rom 15:4.
Go & learn God will have mercy, and not sacrifice.
God is not LORD, and 2 is not 7 in the flood story.
Noah did both grace + law, and what it got him
was inducted into the hall of shame: Hebrews 11.

Well, the bible says that the mist, i.e. dew, covered the earth. You'll find that in Genesis. That's how plants grew. Now, people had to dig wells if they didn't live near a river or lake. That's how people drank.

Good gracious...this is not a correct interpretation. The flood narrative and earlier stuff in Genesis talks about rivers, mist (evaporation), etc. This seems to indicate that there was a fully functioning hydrologic system.

Actually in Genesis it talks about water coming out of the ground to water the earth. Rain wasn't until later

a great mist went up every morning and watered everything
it was more muggy back then lots of water vapor in the air.
"Gen 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. "
there wasn't an sea was we know it today...seas are a result of the flood....
