golf ball size, if they dying back just lift em with a fork slightly and let the  soil dry out around the root ball .lift and rack dry in  dry cool place , shed with chicken wire netting is fine . check in a couple weeks for stem rotting ones use em up . use the small ones first    then string em up in 10s and leave hanging in the roof of trhe shed ,,werks for me

Did my broad beans a couple of evenings ago. Make sure they're suitable varieties for overwintering.

It was also on the "things to do this week" on the Gardeners World website.

Broad Beans anytime now I had good results with a sowing in second week of October last winter so I'll wait at least a week then sow BB and peas. My winter onions will go in this weekend with the garlic and shallots following in about 2 weeks time

wg,

i couldnt see why they had to come up sooner, only thing i thought of was maybe it was to stop them getting to big
