Broad Beans

[Bex]

I can sow these now can't I? I've got some called adulucia claudia (spelling!!!) the claudia is definately right. Hoping to dig another bed at the weekend thought I might get some of these in in the next couple of weeks if poss.

Thanks

Planted some last week so hope it's OK! Never grown them at this time of year but love broad beans so am hoping to get some earlier in the season next year.

Yep, Aquadulce Claudia is one of the standard over wintering one. The only problem you may have is with mice nicking the seeds Also they'll benefit from a bit of protection in the depths of winter (fleece or a cloche)

Mine were sown in modules a couple of weeks back and are about 4" high now and really need to go in. I think they're the same as yours Bex: aquadulce claudia? This variety tends to be the variety recommended for over-wintering. Never done it before though, so we can live and learn together!

Thanks all, knew i'd get the name wrong. I think I might sow mine straight in the ground Waffler, so we will definately see how it goes.
