Broad Beans Seeds

Although not everyone appreciates the somewhat bitter taste of broad beans, a broad bean fresh from your own garden is really much tastier as from the supermarket. The bitter taste is mainly found in the brown broad bean, the white variety is significantly less bitter. By growing and harvesting them relatively young, they are less bitter. They are even tastier if they are double pod, although of course you will have less left.

Broad beans are very healthy. They contain a lot of vitamins. And they are fun and easy to grow as they are undemanding and, together with snow peas and peas, are one of the first vegetables that can be sown. Because they can also be harvested from June, the piece of garden can be reused for another vegetable, which can be sown later in the year. This way you make optimal use of the land. Think carefully about what you are going to sow, after all, you don't want to deplete the soil.

Broad beans are very sensitive to aphids. This can be prevented in a number of ways, by sowing them early, growing dill in between and topping them when the plant has about 8 flowers.
