Mine were shooting up this year developing heavy fruit, but while I was still screaming 'YEAHHHHH' the blackfly came and I had no beans at all, the stems were covered in black lice! I find this very discouraging, don't know whether I'll try to grow them again. Who said that broadbeans are easy to grow?

Rhubarb is very easy to grow and mine did come up faithfully year after year in big fists in spring. However, I read an article recently suggesting thatyou dig up your rhubarb after 7 years and change its garden position because the soil will be exhausted after this period of time ..... Good luck!

I tried to combat the lice by spraying with washing up liquid but it did not help much. When I came back from my holiday, the shoots were limp and the stems are full of the pest. Is there an alternative remedy which I could try? Maybe it was simply too hot for this type of plant here in Austria ....?

Hello, my pear tree had the same problem every year and my neighbour told me it is called Gymnosporangium sabinae, a type of fungus that survives only in correlation on both pear tree and juniper bush. Sometimes it helps to prune the juniper early in the year when it develops thickish growth on the stems so the fungus cannot develop.
