Broad beans twice?

I sowed some broad beans about 3 weeks ago and have also cut some down a bit (as a bit of an experiment as I've never grown beans so late) - time will tell I guess

Just to update on this

Well I have got a second crop of beans, but was it worth it?...A resounding no ......barely enough for a serving or two

Still,if you dont try these things for yourself you dont find out,but it was suggested that the yield might not be great....nothing lost as I still had enough space for leeks and purple sprouting to go in despite leaving the beans in place..

Now that's my sort of response Raders! I always try and buck the trend and do what I want, or feel should work, although advice is always some sort of equilibrium for the wonderings!

I'd have done the same as you, but we ran out of room, and there are carrots just waiting to be pencilled up soon...

Good try there - don't ever give up on doing these things. We planted eight toms well before the last frost this year, and they have been utterly fantastic, with the best fruits we've ever seen? They're huge!

Do the same next year, and beat the trend eh...?

Thanks Babbyann!

We've got a bit of a nervous twitch round here with some suspected blight...

I've been spraying, but still have fingers crossed pretty tightly!

Always a big tick in the box that Lizum (perhaps not, when a tick is very like an aphid...), Welld one there!

but we've had some sort of surprise. The good news is that the second row of carrots seems to have avoided the fly, the bad news is thatsome of them are a bit octopussy, but the fingers are huge, so I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

We had to get them into soil which had only been dug, and had very little humus because the plot was so new.

Great time of year though.
