How to Grow Broad Bean Super Aquadulce (Organic):
Sowing Time: Late October to November, or in Spring
Sowing Suggestion:
Ideally sow seeds in double rows, 5cm (2in) deep in well prepared soil, 20-23cm (8-9in) apart both in the row and between each row. Allow at least 60cm (24in) between each double row. Germination takes about 10 days.
Growing Broad Bean Super Aquadulce (Organic):
Support the plants by tying each one to a cane (having put the cane in before the broad bean seeds), or by placing a cane at each corner and tying in with string, especially in windy sites.
Harvesting Time: Late May onwards
Helpful Hints: Keep well watered especially when flowering and as the broad bean pods set. Pinch out growing tip once pods have set to help deter blackfly. Pick regularly as the broad bean pods swell and the beans are tasty, soft and tender, and to promote further pod production.
