I plant broad beans at the end of November, It worked fine last
year. This year some renegade beans came up from missed pods, I
left them in to see what would happen (they were flowering last
week). They now appear to have been killed by the frost.
Now, although there seems to be varieties recommended for
November planting, all the seed packets seem to say plant in
early winter if you want to. So its not variety. Was it because
the flowering part of the plant is more delicate? Or do the
winter planting come up more frost hardened?
