autumn sown broadbeans flowering already

Hi all,

My autumn down broadbeans are starting to flower already unfortunately they are only about 4 inchs high!

Will they continue to grow now they have flowered?

I have some spring sown ones growing as well which because they have started inside are twice the size already!

What variety are they? The Sutton only grow to about 12 inches anyway and those are what I grow as overwintering so they don't get so hammered by the weather.

I do Aquadulce for spring.

They'll continue to grow away quite happily while flowering.
My Autumn aquadulce were about a foot to 18 inches when they started to flower in mid to late Februaury ( rather too early for my liking ). They are flowering profusely now, and setting the first beans. Some are are 3 feet tall, stalks like sweet corn, so a lot of growth since the flowering started. If the weather is good in the next 4 weeks, and the forecast is looking promising, it could be a real early harvest.

I was a bit worried about the lack of bees bee-ing this early  n'all.

Same here just 9 inchs and flowers showing they are nov sown acudalce.

Mine that have been out all winter are a good 2 ft high. The ones which have been in the GH until yesterday are over 3 ft.
They have only been out a day and they are really sulking.
