A few days after returning from holiday on February 12th 2013 I decided
to sow 60 Broad Beans (Aquadulce Claudia) under chloshes in pre prepared
manured and watered soil. So far there have been no signes of the plants
with the dreadful cold weather we have had.

Two weeks ago with impatience, I had a gentle trowel dig to see if
anything was happening underground. There were 3 beans I found with
roots and as there seemed to be life, I did not disturb them any
further. What is the chance of the crop growing or do I assume that they
have mostly rotted and need to re-sow? How long should I wait to see if
the germination occurs?

In previous years I have sown the seeds in peat pots in the GH in
February with success and then planted out in the veg plot when the
plants are about 2 inches high. How can any of us have know what was to
happen in March and April so far as the temperature outside was going to
be? Your advice would be appreciated.

Be patient Bob. I sowed Aquadulce Claudia last October, most are up 4" in
saturated soil. I usually so two further crops, this month and in May.

Be patient, I sowed peas in guttering on my patio nearly 5 weeks ago, and
whilst they are moving if I scrape the soil away, they haven't shown yet,
it's just been too cold.
