I've just got back to the UK and am trying to sort out my veggie garden. I'd like to put in some broad beans - is it too late to do that? If not, when are they likely to crop? Thanks!
Have planted my broad beans out but they have started flowering already and they are only 14 inches tall - whats the best way to help them grow? any ideas?
We planted broad beans direct to the plot on the 13th October last year,just as a green manure.It has been a bonus for us that we now have beautiful bean plants full of fat pods.Having never eaten them before we tried some last week, fantastic flavour.They did get a good battering with the windy weather, but we tied them up and are cropping weekly from them. they freeze really well too.
I'm have grown broad beans for the first time this year. I grew them in pots and then transplanted them to a bed. I have got some beans that are about 8 inches long and now seem to be being nibbled by something! Any ideas?
Have some super broad beans,heaviest I have ever had,put them out in the garden early june..we use an ordinary.. press to wash hand wash at our kitchen sink (probably detergent)we save the water in a bucket and douse the whole plants gently every evening with it..good healthy strong plants in london,virtually free from blackfly..it might be coincidence,but it works for me..
We've grown broad beans for the first time this year and even up here in the wild north east they have done really well. I'd like to keep some of the beans to use next year can anyone give me some hints on drying them for storage over the winter! thanks
My broad beans look very healthy (I always protect young plants with a can with both ends cut out) and I have harvested the first of them (to be eaten in their pods). However, many flowers have just fallen off without bean pods forming. Any suggestions as to the problem? Thanks.
