RE: A headache for gardeners

And, my father always said, when it came to aphids on broad beans, to use a solution that included dishwashing liquid - not organic, I know, but it does stop them from sticking. Oh, and I meant to let you know: a villager had harvested broad bean seeds after last year's crop and gave us some. So. We shall have broad beans and we will also harvest - just in case :)

Yes some folk add sunlight liquid soap -
Great that you have broad beans - I love them but have yet to try and grow any.

Not difficult to grow at all. And young, freshly picked broad beans with mint, garlic and homemade pasta - hard to beat!

Do - just remember to pop the beans out of their skins. Also lovely in with a french salad dressing.
