Beans planted last weekend just sprouting

Biggest disappointment seems to be the £500 of vetch and oats cover crop that the slugs seem to like more than oil seed rape. Won’t be spending that money next year, might just chuck some forage rape in it or something and before anyone asks this field hasn’t been OSR in 15yrs

Did it have any fert or manure, when was it drilled and how was it drilled?

Apologies for the raft of questions Im going to try a similar mix after wheat thats going into maize.
No fert or muck. It was drilled at the end of June , no till with a jd 750.
Mix, 5kg crimson, 5 kg red, 1 kg white + 2 kg radish.
The plan had been to drill the field in April/May and plant wheat this autumn, but the 155mm of rain in May screwed that up, so I will now leave it until autumn 22 and drill wheat then.

Nelson WW after linseed drilled 23/10

Annoyingly most of my seed arrived later than I would have wished. Plant vigour has reduced as drilling date went later although I’m optimistic that even the 25/10 drilling will be a viable crop.
