I have had over a 50% failure rate on broad beans, ... I have had a 95%
failure rate on
dwarf beans and an 80% one on peas in the past.



I sowed dwarf beans in pots indoors, and only 6 out of 36 germinated. I've
also had to re-sow all my peas (in gutters) as only a few germinated. Don't
know what the problem is this year, but it's definitely not mice. Second
sowing of peas are okay; still waiting on the dwarf beans.
