My onions are growing and Broadbeans are about 2in high but no sign of the garlic.Will they pop up in the winter or next spring?Also do i need to cover the new little Broadbeans or let them be?

Hi Fruitfull, apparently, according to our local Yoda, the Pheasants quite like to 'Oik' 'em out, so I have put some netting over, until established. (Iv'e also got a tray full on the go, just in case

Your broad beans should be fine. You will probably have to support them a bit when they get bigger. A few canes and string should do it.

Do not coddle the beans. You want them to stay small and hardened until the Spring. They will be growing roots.

Agree to put a wire over them. Not just pheasants, crows will also pull them out.

I have to say,watching the little Broad beans come out of the ground has been a great pleasure.Right fighters they are
