French Garden in the heat of June

Hooray, it's June at last and the wet May weather seems like a long distant memory.
I have managed to plant my French beans, tomatoes and potatoes.
 Alongside them, I have sown packets of pretty meadow flowers that should attract loads of insects this summer and help pollinate my veg.
I have also sown chives, mint and cucumber and the hot sun has already beckoned them out into the open.
The lawns have had a good cut and the only plants we lost due to the severe frost that we had last winter, were a honeysuckle and some lavander, both of which I have now replaced.
I'm now off to sit in the shade of a sweet chestnut tree with a very chilled glass of white wine.
Happy June everyone!
