Which variety do you grow? I have terrible problems with chocolate spot so am always looking for heavy croppers so that I can spread out fewer, more productive plants.
I've been growing my own broad beans from my own seed for several years . This year has given me a prolific crop over 2.6 kg of beans from only 8 plants . Tonight I've pressure canned/ preserved 10 x 125 g " Weck" jars of them .This is a years supply , for I'm the only one who eats them in this house. I'm going to dry the rest for seed and use some for sowing in early Nov for a strong crop next year . There will be far to many for me , so if any of you would like a dozen or so seeds in about six weeks drop me a PM with your real name 7 address.Dave
