Our broad beans have done well this year, better than last, and I realised
the other day that there'd been no sign of any blackfly on them this year.

I sowed the beans in spring but a bit late, if I remember correctly, so is
a clean crop down to luck with timing or has it been a fairly blackfly-less
year?

Well Sue - none on ours last year but have had a veg plot fallow year 2014.
Luck is perhaps a major factor !!
