Broad Beans in Greenhouse
Masses of flowers
Believe it or not these are the Broad Beans I sowed on the 21st May . Only through doing this blog have I realised how quickly these beans grow when they are grown under glass. Before sowing I added a good dose of pure fish meal to the soil and rotavated it into the top 5 to 6 inches. I plant them very close together 4 to 6 inches apart, in three rows in a 2 foot bed .They have to be staked and tied in as they are liable to fall and then we get the domino effect The beans are now 4 feet high and an army of very small bumble bees are fertilising them. Iwill have to stop them when they reach the glass which is 6 to 7 feet high. all they need now is water water and more water .
