A few weeks ago I sowed a couple of modules of broad beans called De Monica. It’s a variety we haven’t tried before as an early variety. I know I could have sown them in autumn to overwinter but I’ve never had much luck doing that.
By the looks of it my early spring sowing hasn’t been very successful either. Both trays were sown on exactly the same day with compost from the same bag. As you can see germination has been excellent in one tray and almost a total failure in the other one. I’ll leave them another week to see if any more germination takes place but I think I’ll sow another couple of trays to see if they perform any better.
