Scroggin - no black fly on broad beans only about 10cm high in trays in garden and ones at allotment are well in flower sown in November and no black fly only bean bug has gone around eating the leaves in little nibbles so made a little pattern seems to be all over the allotment - never seen it till I grew them there
My red campion has most of the black fly on they seem to like them which is fine not bothered to remove them
Scroggin that sounds like a plan re the beans, I sarted them November 1st week when someone else said to do them and other plot holders started them about 2 weeks before think the beans look same ish height

Hello , Broad beans planted last autumn total failure , never even germinated , don't known why ? Wonder if mice eat them !
The way it goes sometimes
Hello can you start broad beans in pots in GH in autumn? Or do they have to go straight in the ground?
Hello a friend puts broad beans in an unheated g/h in autumn and by spring they look good , may try that myself
this year
Gers, lost a lot of peas this season, wonder if it's mice too, struggling to get any going!
I think the mice have been eating mine too in th GH!
