Disaster Strikes (many times and worse than usual).

I don't know where to start,I will just say I'm not having a good growing year so far.The pic shows the 709 Raymont appropriately looking like a shipwreck towards the end of June we had a 50 year low centred over England which caused a lot of wind damage that spoilt things for my early pollinations the plants started to recover and then last week we had the worst July weather since 1969 with 65 mph. winds that spoilt things for all my pollinations.
This was during haymaking time on the Farm and that coupled with the fact that I had 5 teeth pulled out meant that I had definately bitten off more than I could chew.
