Hi
has anyone tried these? Favourable or otherwise?
Grano Violetto - Broad Bean
Early maturing variety.
Heritage variety with an excellent flavour. Sow Grando Violetto from October to November or from February to March. Fresh seed is green in colour and dried seed is violet in colour. Pods are approximately 20cm in length and about 6 beans per pod, plants approx 90cm high.
Thanks 1066 :)

I like them, although I find they grow a little taller than 90cm. Tasty beans, crops quite well, imho worth growing.

I tried it once, and it was completely slaughtered by aphids. Maybe it would have been better a bit earlier in the year, as I have trouble growing them in summer.

thanks for the feedback :)
I'll give a few a go and see how I get on. My early ones last year got positively slaughtered by aphids. I just hope this year turns out better!
