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. |
