Did I accidently plant ready eaten broad beans. Are these bite marks on the leaves? They have only been up a day or so and they are already nibbled. All of them are the same. Or should they look like this? I can just imagine a mouse lazing in the sun while I am at work waiting for his broad beans. As soon as he sees one ....chomp!

Hi Luke, Your problem is Bean Weevil. Harmless really, unless you get a bad infection. I would leave it for now and just make sure the plants have plenty of feed to make them strong.

Wow! My first ememy! Thanks for letting me know. I will keep my eye on them.
very impressed with the cabbage plants LUke. The rabbits will have a real feast when you plant those out.
hmmm Need to train Lucy up as a cabbage watchdog!
Does bean weevil like peas too? My peas have all been chomped in the same manner.
I believe they do but the chomping is supposed to be relatively harmless
