Flaming June

We had an inch of rain on Thursday - in less than 12 hours. It was typical Cumbrian weather. But worse was to come. We had 2 inches of rain yesterday, in 24 hours, and in the evening and night, it blew a hooley. Lupins smashed to the ground, buddleja pummeled and worst of all, broad beans thrashed to within an inch of their life. We have done our best to resurrect them today, propping them with canes (they had already had their usual baler twine supports put in place), but as it has rained on and off all day today, and it's still pretty windy - they'll have to take their chance.
3 inches of rain didn't manage to stop Husband having a furtle about in the tatie rows in one of the brief 'dry' periods today. Guess what we're having for supper? Yep, the first of this years crop. These are Pentland Javelin.........
