Best advice for broad beans?

I started some later last year maybe April time an dwhen in the groiund they all got RUST and died - I suspect due to cool damp summer.  Missed the autumn sow time so may give them a miss again.

learner : dyslexic?  possible. Surprising how many people out there have dyslexia (I have a related condition) I swear the wife is as she constantly writes numbers backwards

on topic: gonna get my beans into the ground soon.. Aquadulce... so gonna have to get my finger out i think.

Aquadulce? - Isn't the sowing period something like October to January at the latest?
I thought about giving them a go but the snow came along so I gave up the idea.

If they are new seeds they would keep over for October 2009 and do for next year. It'd be a shame to chance them as they are good seeds. (expensive?)

You could bung in one of the may other spring sown varieties - just a thought.
