Hello Aidy
The beans are Aquadulce Claudia - I think they’re fairly winter-robust. I grew 4/5 plants in my garden last year and they over-wintered really well and because they were early they didn’t get blackfly. The year before, I grew them from late spring and they were covered in aphids - so I’m liking the getting-in-there early and freezing them.
I’ve just taken on an allotment, so I’m giving it a go with about 30 plants, in groups of about 10 over a couple of months. Some plants are a bit leggy - hence my query about deeper planting.
All this fuss over a broad bean. Can you imaging what I’ll be like come spring!?
