Here is John's advice from the main website:

You should be able to get seeds online if not locally.

In my experience you would be better off forgetting broad beans till spring as they will rot or the slugs will get them.

Winter sowings biggest benefit is to the seed companies bank accounts !

Ditto with peas.

They need extra TLC to nurse them through any hard spells, just to get a crop a few weeks earlier than spring sown ones.

i'm trying wizzard beans from realseeds.co.uk they were up in ten days and are supposed to be extra hardy. Jerusalem articokes can go in now too.
