Broad beans.

Today we have sown directly into the soil in February for harvests as early as May.
Broad beans usually take anywhere from 7 to 14 days to germinate.
‘Aquadulce Claudia’: A large, very hardy longpod cultivar for autumn or early spring sowing.
And Radish French Breakfast.
Amongst the beans I put in some radishes
This fast-growing catch crop will mature before the Broad Beans grow big and block out their light.
I'll wait at least another couple of weeks - perhaps 3 or 4 - before sowing my next lot of Broad Beans.

Sowing.

Planting: Fruit tree - 25 feb 
Chitting Potatoes: 28 feb


Sowing:
- Leeks
- Celeriac 
- Early Peas (grown in situ)
A good tip for broad beans and peas is to sow a short row every three weeks between now and April, providing a constant succession of crops between June and October. For the first sowing of peas, choose a wrinkled pea such as 'Celebration', a delicious petit pois type, or try sugar snaps or mangetouts. A real beauty is 'Carouby de Mausanne', a C19th French mangetout with the added benefit of great good looks with lilac flowers.
