Organic Broad Bean 'Aquadulce' seeds
Growing schedule: Direct sow from October to November or from February to March. Sow some extra in pots to fill any gaps.
Sowing depth: 5-8 cm
Germination: Seeds germinate between 5 -10°C in around 7 -10 days.
Planting distance: 10 - 15cm between plants; 60cm between rows
Growing conditions: Broad beans are a cool weather legume – they cope well with cooler conditions and will struggle in high temperatures. They prefer a sunny, sheltered position with reasonably fertile, moist, free-draining soil. In very wet or clay soil conditions, starting off seeds in pots may give better results.
