Top Tips
Pheasants love young broad bean plants and will dig up the plants to eat the sprouted seed so take precautions (especially with Autumn sowings) if you have pheasants in your area.
Young broad bean tops make an excellent spinach substitute.
Support the plants with string lines as the plants grow taller.
Water well if the weather is dry when the pods are swelling.
As soon as the first beans appear pinch off the top 1½" of the stems to encourage pod development and to help reduce blackfly.
Pick the beans when they are young and tender - broad beans freeze well so better to freeze any excess rather than try and extend the season and end up eating tough beans.
After harvesting dig the plants into the ground to provide green manure and valuable nitrogen to the soil.

Supplied as a packet of approximately 100 seeds.

Hi Serena Just to let you know that my plants have arrived and to thank you for taking such care with them - they were so well packed and are in such good condition. I am very impressed because I have bought plants online in the past and they were nowhere near as well packed - or as well grown! Kind regards Suzanne Manning, Eyemouth
