At about October time last year I planted some broad beans straight in to the ground, as I had read that if you do this at the optimum time they will grow over winter & you can get an early crop of beans. I thought I'd give it a go, nothing to loose, right? They're not supposed to start flowering for a month or so yet, but LOOK!
It's always very satisfying when you're testing something out & it actually works. It's even more satisfying when your neighbour also tries it out, & yours look better (I'm not a nasty person, but there's a bit of me that's very smug right now...).
I hope I haven't jinxed it, but hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have some broad beans to chow down on! Excitement!
