Mine are Sutton sown in Nov in some old [very old] rootrainers.
My broadbeans will go into 3" pots or (if I can find some) pretty big cells.I find it much easier to plonk them out when the weather improves than fuss with over wintering ones. Tried that with 50/50 results - some years OK and others...why bother!!Good luck everyone... ......... snowing now!!

Tried that with 50/50 results - some years OK and others...why bother!!My only reason is that I want tough plants. I'm crossing a heap of varieties, and I don't want to end up with a tender strain. Best way to avoid that is to overwinter some when I can and breed the survivors back in.
