on the cill, ok with me.
I can't imagine a summer without broad beans and new potatoes.
Saying that, the lot of them might come good when the water has gone. What
are the chances of that? I am hoping to get a glimpse Sunday perhaps if it
doesn't rain too hard between now and then.
I just hope the fruit trees and bushes will be ok. They look ok.

Peas usually say on the packet "successional sowings until July"
I've planted broad beans in late april before now. I haven't planted my dad's potatoes yet - I meant to, but it's been raining non stop for about a fortnight.
If the soil is still too soggy, you could always start in pots and then transplant - you can certainly do that with peas and broad beans.
My garden gets flooded to a depth of 6 inches several times a year, for about 24 hours at a time, but all my fruit trees and bushes are fine, despite what they say about apples not liking soggy ground.
