          My overwintered aquadulcie claudia beans got chocolate spot but were already quite big at the point they became infected. I removed the worse affected leaves and it is now producing some fine pods.

          The dwarf suttons nearby on the other were very small plants when infected and nearly all the leaves were affected. I gave them a feed in the hope they would pull through but they look a mess and I am yet to see a pod.

                First year I've had a good crop from a few beans I had in the bottom of the seed box that I only threw in for myself as no-one else likes them. Haven't noticed any chocolate spot, but I will be looking for it now. Hope you can sort yours Piskie.
