Someone said recently to eat broad beans pod and all

Broad beans are the only vegetable that I grow that don't get pests and diseases. Other than blackfly of course if they are sown in spring. I sow most of mine in autumn. I get the odd one or two with blackfly so I nip the tops off instead of eating them. The rest are fine. Oh, yes, they do. I lost most of my crop one year to rust; there are viruses that can affect them; and they fairly often get various root and stem rots. Yes, those rarely do more than kill a few plants and reduce the crop, but occasionally they can destroy one. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I didn't say that I personally have lost crops to all of those! In 35 years, I have had a 70% crop failure once (due to rust), and have not (touch wood) had more than a 10% crop failure for any other reason, since I starting pre-germinating the seeds. My soil does have something that attacks germinating pea and bean seeds very badly, though broad beans are the most resistant. But, if I don't start off French and runner in pots, I rarely get MORE than 5% survival. In paper pots (using garden soil) inside, I get 95% survival except for modern filet green beans, which I have given up on. I don't bother with pots for broad beans and peas, because I need too many of them. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
