Autumn sowing of Beans and Peas

I've sown Masterpeice & Grano Violleto broad beans, both in pots, sown 1st October, planted out 11th November, and in rows direct sown 28th October, through within ten days. I prefer the autumn sown ones as they seem to resist chocolate spot better. It will be interesting to compare their relative performances in the spring.

Peas - douce de Provence direct sown 28th October and through in a week. Again winter sown do better, spring sown suffering more from mildew and the long tailed blue butterfly, (very pretty, also know as the pea blue butterfly!)
