Broad Beans

Broad Beans

Broad beans are the first of the bean/pea crops to be available for harvesting. We sow them in December and transplant them into the Polytunnels in late February. We grow them in the Polytunnels so we can harvest them as early as possible in the late spring/early summer – we expect them to be available in May. The variety we grow is called Eleonora.
