My broad beans, sowed last autumn, are nice sturdy young plants now.
However, most of them have already started to flower, despite them being no
more than 12" tall, and it being no less than about 3 months early! Has
anyone else encountered this problem (if indeed it is a problem)? Should I
pinch the flowers out or just let them get on with it?

Don't pinch 'em out, Andy. Your gonna have the first broad beans
in the country!

Sam (enviously).
