Chocolate spot on broad beans.

[Kath]

We have nice new raised beds into which we have planted some nice healthy broad beans which were raised under glass and then hardened off before planting out. I think we have chocolate spot on 2 of the plants. Help.
Do we need to pull these plants out ? It has been very wet the last few days which apparently makes the situation worse. I am so disappointed as they all looked so healthy.They are flowering too.

Grateful for any comments as we haven't grown these before.

Search on here - there is at least one thread for chocolate spot. It's worse in wet seasons - but buck up - we're forecast a hot summer! I think it won't affect your beans too badly and you can still eat them.

Thank you Flummery. I hadn't thought of the search bit.

How can anything called chocolate be bad? It's all wrong.

Chocolate spot on broad beans is as much a fact of life for some as rust is on leeks vfor others. It affects the beans not a jot, leave them be and they should be ok.

Oh good. I would hate to lose them.
