I'm growing broad beans in pots in my back yard and at the minute they are growing nicely up a single bamboo cane in each pot. Is this an ok support method or is it a good idea to build a more solid frame? I'm totally new to broad beans. At the minute they are inside the greenhouse but when they start getting big I want to put them outside up against the greenhouse or a wall.

Have you got one bean per pot?

I grow broadies (Sutton) in containers with 6-10 beans per pot depending on size. Although Sutton is a dwarf variety it still needs support and i put canes round the edges with string wound round them.

If yours are overwintering beans they might be putting on too much growth in a greenhouse which could cause problems if you put them out while the wetaher is cold.

I've got one plant per pot and they've been growing since October.
It kind of looks like this:

but the one plant is centred.
