Broad Beans

« on: June 16, 2009, 17:39 »

The broad beans are approx. 18" with many flowers. Unfortunately the bottom flowers are dropping off. On examination there is a tiny pod inside. Any ideas as to why they are dropping off. Any help will be appreciated. There was no name of the variety on the packet of seeds

I think they're meant to, i had some of my flowers fall off ages ago and i still onlt have a few pods that i can see forming. I dont think they're as easy to spot as others like peas, and i dont think they are "behind the flower".

Could be wrong though

Don't worry they drop off as the pod forms under the flower..

Sorry don't think I've explained properly. The tiny little bean is also dropping off
