Just sown some of my Autumn Broad Beans tonight in modules. Once they are a couple of inches tall they will be planted out, without any protection!
The only reason I have sown them in modules is that it means I can plant a row with no 'misses' and secondly I can protect them from mice and birds!

PS Seed is my home saved 'Epicure' red beans from this years crop!
