Autumn sowing of Beans and Peas

Its that time of year again!!
Who's sowing overwintering peas and broad beans or any other beans?

I have The Sutton and a taller tpe of broad bean to sow (Name escapes me) I toyed with sowing them a bit early as the recommended month is Novemeber?

If you plant too early they romp away with long sappy growth and the tops get frosted.

I agree Scarlet, but it surely makes a difference what part of the country you harken from?   I think I sowed in Novemebr last year and had poor germination with the ones that did germinate damping off soon after?

Yes.. definitely agree it depends where you are... I always start most things in modules as i feel i get a head start on weeds... o also found that I was better starting in feb? Try 2 or 3 staggered sowings to see which one works the best?

Thats the plan Scarlet!
