Broad beans

« on: April 09, 2009, 15:42 »

Does anybody know if I can sow broad beans directly from the been seed recently picked or do they have to be dried first?

you could try, but I suspect drying helps to build up enzymes that are needed for germination otherwise you'd have all your legumes attempting to germinate while still in the pod
