Schoolboy Error

In a hurry, I planted out a seedtray with no label.
A week or so later and I have forgotten what I planted.

It could be peas or broad beans. Possibly even french beans. Any ideas from more experienced hands??

Looks like broad beans

Great -thanks for that!
here's a better shot...

Yup, defo broadies

Looking good! Mine are similar height and just waiting for dryer weather to get them out on the plot.

Great! Thanks!!
Think I should put them in separate pots for the time being?

Mine are in loo roll tubes, so the whole lot will go in the ground. It's the first time I've grown them, so not sure about you needing to pot them on .... I think I'd leave them as they are for hardening off and them put them in the ground?

People have already started their BB's indoors?
I was waiting until the middle of next month before I get them started.

Surely they will get massive before it is warm enough for them to be planted out or should I plant them now? :?

Please don't take into account anything I have done.
I am a complete and utter amateur at this malarkey and will probably kill or maim most things I try to grow this year.

It's all experience though

Same here ... this is only my first full season with my plot ... so all trial & error. I plan to get my BB out really soon, as they have been outside during the day and into the mini GH at night, over the past week. Hopefully they'll be ok now they're hardened off a bit.

i started my broad beans off outside in individual pots they are not as far on as yours

but i hope they will catch upwith yours :roll: as they won't need hardening off before they are planted on the allotment

I've probably screwed up by keeping mine in a really warm room for the first few weeks of their life.

Broad beans.

Harden them off carefully before you plant them out

Broad beans are hardy you can plant them in October insitue I put mine along side the green house facing south they do very well.

Mine were planted in pots early Januaary. They have been in the ground under cover for the past month or so. They are 8 inches tall and doing well with lots of side shoots.
Have just sowed round 2 in pots.

Do they need support?
