Broadbeans

I have been enjoying the broadbeans, which, fortunately, are not eaten up by the snails which are creeping up all over the plants and creating holes in the leaves.  A few of the mature plants have been pulled out after the harvest as there was no sign of flower buds.  Those promising more beans will stay. I have planted out a few more seedlings and hope to harvest the beans beyond Christmas.
This is just one of the many snails found on the leaves of the broadbeans.  There are just too many of them to be successfully removed.
