Broad Beans
« on: June 30, 2009, 15:19:31 »
Should I be worried about my broad beans -  they have lots of little green things with black legs on them   ??? 

What should I do to get rid of them ?

About the size of a grain of rice. Some are smaller so am guessing these are the baby ones.  Some have wings.

tbh, a few insects don't do too much damage, it's more cosmetic damage than anything serious. you'lkl still get a good crop ;)
You couldn't make it up!
