Here are some of my broad bean plant residents. Number 1 is the black fly. I think this is gonna be an infestation! I have read that some soap spayed on helps but I am sceptical. There are ants crawling up and down the stems as well and I have heard that these guys defend the black fly so they count as enemy too.
The 2nd shot is an out of focus bean weavil. Darn camera! We have known each other for a while now and I have been tolerating the hungry blighters.
Not sure what photo 3 is. Nice or nasty? If anyone knows then please tell me.
On the positive side. There are some broad beans appearing where flowers used to be. Not many mind but after the battle they have had since being planted in the autumn, I am grateful for any success.
