Bring back the sun!

Well, the drought has well and truly broken at my place! There's water everywhere. And everywhere else, there are splodges of half-eaten, half-ripe figs hollowed out by devious waxeyes! It's amazing how quickly the garden can turn from desperately dehydrated to thoroughly soaked and soggy. My tomatoes are literally splitting out of their skins and the courgettes are all swelling up like giant sea slugs. And, having nursed them through two years of intensive care, my Lobelia aberdarica plants have shrivelled up and died. That means I've killed 15 of them in three years. Grrrrr!
I was hoping that summer was going to last right through until the end of May (ok, I know, it's a bit delusional but I remember that two years ago I was still picking tomatoes out of my front garden in early May), but now I'd settle for seeing blue sky again.
On the plus side, all this rain is plumping up my beans. I sowed a late crop of 'Borlotto Fire Tongue' and 'Supreme' beans in early January and they are in full production now. The 'Supreme' seeds were sent to me by a chap called Pat in Avondale and they are the most delicious green, stringless type. I'm also growing two types of runner beans - both were given to me by readers last spring - on a woven bamboo teepee in my side garden. One type has the standard orange flower; the other has white flowers.
I could eat beans every night and never get sick of them, which is just as well, because it looks like I just might be for a while yet...
