Broad beans are an easy and productive crop, producing valuable early harvests, before most other vegetables are ready. They can be sown at various times from autumn to late spring, depending on your growing conditions and the variety, and if you sow several batches you can enjoy fresh, delicious beans from early to late summer.
Sow under glass in Feb or March for an early crop. Protect from mice. Grow on in a cool not cold place and harden off before planting out in March or April.
