Not a big fan myself but kids love them. As i'm not a fan i never grow them but today i was given a load.
Is it ok to plant them out now or am i way to late? They look very healthy right enough.

[Aunt Sally]

Plant them now you will get a late crop.  I've recently sown my last BBs.  You will need to keep an eye on them for chocolate spot though.

Hi

I have recently sown more broad beans too.
Is there anything you can do to avoid chocolate spot?

Not sure what you mean about chocolate spot, but I remember reading that you should remove the tip of the plant when it has matured to avoid something like that happening?

I made a mistake today and sowed some Aquadulce Claudia along with more Sutton Dwarfs....then realised I shouldn't have sown the Aqua's for months yet :roll:
What will happen with them?

Well it's a three month cropping plant...yea I know it should have been planted late autumn, but I would think you will get an early crop by August sometime. No probs.

Thanks tweaky, that's reassuring.
Had considered taking them all out again & wiping them dry

Not much, other than airy planting on the wide spacing, quite often comes with seed too.

Thankyou Aunt Sally, advice heeded.

I think you'll find that's to prevent blackfly.

I think your right DD, silly me.
