Here are some close-up pictures of the early days of some beans:-












Beans at this stage grow so rapidly, you can almost see them change within a few minutes - certainly overnight.

This is how my Broad Beans were looking last Thursday when I left home:


Maybe by now those flowers will have faded and given way to tiny little pods??? I hope so.

  2. Your favas are at about the same state as mine. Though a few of mine are just covered in black aphids. It happens every year.

  7. I've got my climbing French beans planted out now, I'm hoping we've seen the last of the frosts. It's amazing how fast beans grow.

  9. I like to grow broad beans. Now the best time to sow them but I don't think it will produce before we pack up. So I look forward to your harvest.
