Who's sowing overwintering peas and broad beans or any other beans?
I toyed with sowing them a bit early as the recommended month is Novemeber?

Thanks for the nudge, bit all over the place/not with it atm.
I'm starting a job Sunday so might put the broad beans and onion sets in modules for now.

I think I sowed in Novemebr last year and had poor germination with the ones that did germinate damping off soon after?

I sow them when I think about it, I'll probably sow some every month until next spring. Wizard Field beans don't grow too tall and, if they don't survive, consider them to be green manure.
