Broad Bean Masterpiece Green – Cultivation Advice
- Sow from early spring as soon as the soil can be worked in an open sunny site preferably on ground which has been manured for a previous crop.
- Sow in double rows 7cm (2in.) deep, 23cm (9in.) apart in the row. The double rows should be spaced 23cm (9in.) apart and a distance of 40-60cm (18-24in.) should be left before the next set of double rows.
- Keep free of weeds.
- Provide support on exposed sites prior to the plants reaching 12 inches
- Harvest the beans when the pods are well fat and the seed still soft.
