I've got some aquadulce to sow for an early crop and wondered if anyone was sowing yet or if I should leave it a few weeks?

I sowed some about 4 weeks ago - but those were for a (fingers crossed) late autumn crop, not for overwintering! Sorry, this doesn't help answer your question ;-) -
I have long since given up on over wintering broad beans. I prefer to sow in pots in the greenhouse in spring and plant out when conditions are right. They soon catch up.. so sorry, im not much help either.

I recall Two_Sheds posting that she planted hers in November to get them to about 4" before heavy Winter.
I will plant mine fifteen minutes after she does.We're the Sweeney, son - and we haven't had any dinner.Comment

I usually plant mine at the end of September in London, should have a good few weeks to get going before the first frosts then.Death to all slugs!Comment

If I've any space to fill in October I use broad beans to overwinter, but I doubt there'll be any space this year!Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

How I long to have overwintered broadies and an early crop but there's no chance of that up here as those that manage to survive end up behind the spring sown ones. Like arpoet I've given up on the idea and start a few containers off in the greenhouse in Feb/MarchComment

Not yet, they'll get too tall and could be damaged by the wind more easilyComment

I have my broad been seeds and will adopt a belt and braces approach by making three staggered sowings. End of Sept, middle of Oct and end of Oct.
Surely this will give me summat still growing come the spring?
