Hiya Stuart -- I'm in Launceston and have planted my Broad Beans about a month ago. They have just come through. If you want to plant seeds now I suggest you give them some protection from frost and plant ina place to take best advantage of what sun you get. Planting later?? Refer Gardenate planting guide. PS Tassy is a cool/mountain climate. Hope you grow heaps. Cheers Michele

Hi, I'm with Michele. on this. You may as well wait until july/August for broad beans. They'll grow the same if you plant them then as if you plant them now. They almost stop growing in the really cold months.cheers.
