Sow these tasty broad beans twice in the year for twice as much cropping! Sow from February to April for cropping in the autumn; then sow in September to November for an early summer crop of 25cm-long pods containing between five and seven beans. Good cold resistance makes these broad beans a great choice for overwintering.SOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow seed 5cm (2in) deep into well-prepared soil. Sow double rows, allowing 23-30cm (9-12in) between plants, and 60cm (24in) between each row.GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: As plants grow, support with stout canes and string as necessary. Pinch out the tips of the plants when in full flower to help the pods swell and to help reduce infestation of blackfly. Pick frequently when pods are well-filled, but still tender.”SERVING SUGGESTION: Broad beans are a great accompaniment to chicken, pork or ham. Or why not try them steamed and chilled in a healthy mixed bean salad with a light French dressing.Freshly picked, small, young broad beans are a source of pro-vitamin A and vitamins C and E. Also a good source of protein.”
