The Last Picking of Broad Beans in the Vegetable Garden.
We have just had the final lot of Broad Beans in the Vegetable Garden. They have been marvellous.
The first lot of Broad Beans were sown in November. The third and final planting was at the end of March which spread the harvest well.
Picking started on 26 June from those planted in November. So we have been harvesting broad beans from the vegetable garden for 8 weeks. The French Beans are now producing well, and make a pleasant change. At least French Beans do not need podding and can be thrown straight into the pan.
