This rating is purely on germination rate since the new beans haven't even yet formed, so unable to rate quality & hence value for money. To be fair the germination rate has been better with the 2nd half of the seeds & more like what is acceptable, unlike the 1st half which is why I complained. Give Marshall's their due they sent me a replacement packet.

Quick to mature for early harvests
Improves soil nitrogen for future crops
Broad Bean ‘De Monica’ is a versatile dual-sow variety that can be overwintered for the earliest spring beans or sown in spring for quick-maturing summer harvests. Its vigorous plants reach around 1m tall, producing heavy crops of tasty pods while also acting as a natural windbreak for nearby crops.
This variety has the added benefit of improving soil health. As it grows, ‘De Monica’ fixes nitrogen into the soil, enriching it for next year’s leafy vegetables such as cabbages and spinach. Its resilience and strong growth make it a reliable choice for gardeners across the UK.
With its combination of speed, productivity, and soil-boosting benefits, ‘De Monica’ is an excellent broad bean variety for gardeners seeking both flavour and performance.
