  • Broad beans are very easy to grow and ideal for beginners. Sow seeds directly into the ground or large pots in a sunny, sheltered spot. Space seeds well and water in after sowing. As plants grow, provide support and pinch out the tops once flowering begins to help deter blackfly and encourage pod set.

    Sow: October to November or February to March

    Plant spacing: 10–15 cm between plants; 60 cm between rows

    Harvesting time: May to July

  • Broad beans are at their best when freshly picked. We love them lightly blanched and finished with olive oil, lemon, and sea salt, or mashed with garlic and herbs on toast. They’re excellent in risottos, spring salads, stews, or paired with mint, peas, and feta.

    For larger beans, pop them out of their skins after blanching for the best texture and flavour.
