Hi I am growing Aquadulce Claudia, Crimson Flowered, HSL Cretian and a black seeded broad bean sent to me by a friend overseas. I am in the Midlands.
Good episode.
Hi Sean I’m growing The Sutton and Giant Exhibition Broad beans. South Somerset. I get them from a company called vegetableseeds . net . 65 seed for 80p and with free postage on all seeds.
That would be leaves, to make leaf mold. Make a good soil conditioner and there free.
Dry leaves.
what is that cage of dry leaves behind you? compost?

Aquadulce is a very good variety. Haven’t tried Bunyards.
Hi Sean, i`m growing Aquadulce Broad Beans.I`m also growing Bunyards Exhibition which i have just sown this week.
Thanks Linda. New one goes live tonight.
awesome video
Hi Tim, Yes, Swiss Beet and Swiss Chard are the same plant. Maybe one day I’ll get to visit New York if funds ever allowed and would like to visit The High Line. Maybe one day! Thanks for watching, new videos every Wednesday.
Hi Sean, Hello From Upstate New York (across the pond) Came across this video so now I have to back track to watch your other ones. I never tried broad beans before. I was wondering if Swiss Beet is what some call Swiss Chard or are they two separate plants? I have only grown some basics like Tomato, Potato, Peas, Peppers. Bought seeds for letuuce and beets but never seem to plant them. Thanks for posting this video
Tim
More ideals to come! Thanks for watching.
Ow, that’s where I got the idea of the couve tronchuda
(and the pea’s and beans and and and ….)
Hi, im growing Armstrong Broad Beans most of my plants are about a foot tall already!!!
Thanks.
Great video, very informative. Thanks
Welcome to our little gang of amateur gardeners.
Broad Beans looks as if they stop growing when you sow them before Christmas then all of a sudden in Spring they grow very quickly.
Hi Natalie, What part of Australia?
Hi Sean I’m from the tropical island of Puerto Rico. I came across your video and i loved it. The only beans that i grow are green beans and pink beans. Thats the bean that we eat. I also planted garlic a week ago and they sprouted very nice. Keep up the great work.
Hi Sean , Paul in St Helens here .I’m growing Broadbean Bunyards Exhibition and The Sutton . I planted some of the Bunyards on the allotment just before winter of which only 2 remain which are only about 4 inches high . Having said that I planted a dozen more Bunyards out on January 20th which are now 6-8 inches high . I planted the dwarf Sutton variety out on January 27th and they are about 3 inches tall already . I protect them using cloches made from empty water bottles with cut off bases .
Finding your videos very informative. I live in Australia in a subtropical climate and are planting seeds now, pretty much same as you in the Uk. I love that you are doing a weekly series.
Called Summer Days. Bought it from a music production company.
Hello sean
Glad your better
I really love the music can you tell me what it is called
Have a good week

I’m growing two varieties, Crimson Flowered and Bunyard Exhibition. I grew them for the first time last year and they were prolific. However, I grew mine in situ rather than in pots first. Have you found pots to be a more reliable method? Although mine produced well, there were a few misses.

Thanks. Good to be working the soil again.
