Year round sowing of Broad Beans

My Broad Bean "collection" was split into Autumn sowing and Spring sowing varieties but, sorting them last night, I realised that they can be sown every month of the year - if you choose the right variety.

The most versatile are
 Aquadulce  Oct-March
Bunyards Exhibition Oct - May
Luz de Otono Oct - Dec, March - August
Wizard Field bean Feb - Apr, Sept - Oct.

Those 4 cover every month of the year!.............we won't talk about the other 11 varieties I have. Blush

I know that BBs may not be everyone's favourites but I like growing them for their flowers and eating the young bean pods (before the beans form). My current idea is to sow BBs every month, not too many, 10-12, and dot them around the garden for "foraging" through the year. 

BBs for sowing in December are Aquadulce, Bunyard's Exhibition, Luz de Otono and Sutton.
