Just read that you can sow The Sutton (dwarf) broad bean up to July. If this is true I would go for it as I love broad beans (and they freeze well too).
Has anyone tried this and if so what were the results and where in the country are you?
Thanks

Well I have just planted some runners down here in the SW, I would suggest that you should get them in ASAP if you are going to.

Re: Sowing Broad Beans in July
When would you harvest them? I put some in auturmn and eat them in spring, but if the ones sewn in March get eaten June, would these actually be ready october?
