I have sown the broad beans that I require but as usual there is half a packet left over. I am thinking of sowing the other half of the packet in the Spring. These are Aquadulce Claudia. Has anyone sown them in the Spring? Do they produce a later crop or will they just grow quickly and crop at the same time as the Winter sown ones? I can of course save them until next Winter.

Yes they will be fine to sow in spring.  You will get a slightly later crop

I'm still waiting for my Aquadulce beans, hardy peas (T&M) onion sets, shallots and garlic (Unwins) that I ordered weeks ago. The beds have been ready for 2 weeks and they fob me off when I ask them when they're arriving.
At this rate (AND with the post strike) I'll be planting at Christmas which is NOT my idea of fun!
So much for being organised!! Could've got them at the local GC!

Serial sowing is the way forward.
