Planting broad beans

On March 3rd we planted our first batch of broad beans in the Market Garden. We sowed 400 superaquadulce beans on January 29th. They were planted in 4 lines along a one-metre-wide bed of greenwaste compost 5cm thick. We sowed our second batch on February 26th and they will be ready to plant at the beginning of April, all being well.
