The broad beans on our allotment have survived the recent snow and cold weather, but they are showing signs of being nibbled. We planted them a few months ago to give them chance to beat the cold and give us a slightly earlier crop. The old wives story says that if you plant them in late autumn they don't suffer later on with blackfly. Up until a couple of years ago we always found that to be true, but in the last two years we have had bad attacks of blackfly.
