I did these as a spring sowing because of the dreadful winter and was really impressed. I had a massive crop, they won first prize at our local show and tasted very good indeed. Only very slight downside was that they didn't crop for very long, but not a problem as has cleared way for other crops!

These performed brilliantly last year from a November sowing and even gave a small second crop after i cut the main plants down. This year they will be later as , due to all the snow, I have only just got them into the ground. Fingers crossed for another good `do'.

Superb broad bean. Mine produced long pods filled with succulent, large beans in August from a late spring sowing. They have a fantastic fresh flavour. The packet suggests they can also be sown in October to overwinter, so I will try some alongside Aquadulce to see how they perform.
