  • Chocolate spot on broad beans.

    We have nice new raised beds into which we have planted some nice healthy broad beans which were raised under glass and then hardened off before planting out. I think we have chocolate spot on 2 of the plants. Help.
    Do we need to pull these plants out ? It has been very wet the last few days which apparently makes the situation worse. I am so disappointed as they all looked so healthy.They are flowering too.

    Grateful for any comments as we haven't grown these before.

    Search on here - there is at least one thread for chocolate spot. It's worse in wet seasons - but buck up - we're forecast a hot summer! I think it won't affect your beans too badly and you can still eat them.

      Thank you Flummery. I hadn't thought of the search bit.

          How can anything called chocolate be bad? It's all wrong.

            Chocolate spot on broad beans is as much a fact of life for some as rust is on leeks vfor others. It affects the beans not a jot, leave them be and they should be ok.
