When I was young I didn't really like #BroadBeans they seemed to have a rather unpleasant aftertaste apart from their skins being tough. Now I #growmyown, Super Aquadulce and they are perfect - can't get enough of them. Is it me that's changed or did we grow awful varieties 40 years ago? #allotment #growyourown

Broad beans are a powerhouse in the garden! Not only do they produce a bountiful crop, they're nitrogen fixers, enriching the soil for future plants. Plus, they're packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins. A true superfood! #BroadBeans #GardenMagic #HealthyHarvest

🌱 Spring (Feb to Apr) is the perfect time for planting broad beans! Start them off in pots or sow directly into well-drained soil, in a sunny spot. Space them 8 inches apart & support with stakes. Water regularly & wait for the magic to happen. #GardeningTips #BroadBeans 🌿

October is perfect for planting broad beans (fava beans) for an early crop next spring! 🍂
Top tips:
1️⃣ Choose a hardy, overwintering variety like 'Aquadulce Claudia'.
2️⃣ Plant seeds 5cm deep in a sunny, well-drained spot to protect them from frost and mice.

Broad beans. A bowl of shelled broad beans and a vegetable bin. It stands on the kitchen counter.

3 years of trying, and I have finally grown a Broad Bean!

Planting them out earlier and earlier trying to beat the blackfly was a mug's game apparently, the wise grower leaves it late so they don't start shooting until the blackfly predators are out.

This portrait format photograph shows a round, woven basket filled with broad beans in their pods. The basket sits on a green and white checked fabric placemat.

Small ant visiting an extra-floral nectary on the underside of a fava bean stipule. Some people are alarmed by the presence of ants on their fava beans but that's only warranted if ants are farming aphids in large numbers. The nectaries also attract lady beetles and parasitic wasps, especially early in the season when flowers are scarce. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #ViciaFaba #legumes #nectar #nectaries #garden #ants #botany #insects

Dark brown ant with its head over a small black spot, perhaps 1.5 mm in diameter, on the underside of a small, green-veined leaf.

Fava beans are up! I'm going to plant them at the community garden tomorrow. #favabeans #broadbeans #gardening #legume #GrowYourOwn

Today in gardening news, I got a bulk bag of leaves for mulch. I bagged up some of the old leaf mould and planted broad beans. I found a shabby/apocalyptic chic petroleum memorabilia sign under the old leaf pile. #broadbeans #petroliana #leafmould

A pile of leaves, being left to turn into leaf mould. There is some chicken wire to the left of the picture plus small brambles and ivy around the edges.

Dinner tonight. #garden #gardening #allotment #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #ViciaFaba #GrowYourOwn

Heap of long, green, glossy pods that that swell at positions with beans.

Here's what I made with my first harvest of fava beans. Puréed them with ricotta, mint, basil, garlic, shallots, cream, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Then spread onto oiled, grilled baguette slices with prosciutto, parmesan, whole fava beans, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #food #cooking

How to prepare fava beans: remove seeds from pods, blanch for 30 seconds, cool in ice bath, remove seed coat. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #ViciaFaba #legume #vegetables #gardening #garden #allotment #cooking #food

Handful of large, pale-green seeds next to empty pods.

Fava bean season has begun! Am thinking of putting them on toast along with ricotta and mint. But am open to suggestions. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #allotment #garden #gardening #vegetables #cooking
