My broad beans have overwintered in the polytunnel and have now come into flower – the trouble is, there are no pollinators about. I hand pollinate the peach blossom with a paintbrush, but I can’t see how to pollinate the broad bean flowers. Is it possible? I am worried that all that effort to overwinter the plants will be wasted if they are not pollinated.
I have the same problem. Sutton broad beans in my polytunnel flowering but no polinators.

I’d love to know what happened to your plants, as mine are in flower already and it’s only January! I planted SuperAquadulce seeds in October, in raised beds under cover and they are now 1.5 feet tall. I live in sunny Sussex, incidentally. I decided to pinch out the flowers on the advice of a friend who used to work for Charles. Any further advice, Charles or anyone?
