*If the stems are not fastened, all investment in time & effort in
bringing the plants to this stage will be wasted. Spending time tieing
the beans up will ensure a good harvest.
*The soil between the broad bean rows was hoed. Constant hoeing of the
soil, is quick and easy, if done when the weeds are tiny.
