Broad Beans again
« on: April 01, 2006, 08:48:06 »
6-15 days they say. And, presumably that's in the open?

These took 22 days - indoors - to get here.

I cant work broad beans out at all. The ones I sowed in mid Feb took 4-6 days to reach the stage yours are at. Now, using the same seed, same propagating temp etc they are taking the same time as yours, very odd.

Oo, and remember I mentioned I was pinching the tops out of my Bunyards Exhibition as they had grown huge and lanky, well they have now sprouted lots of lovely thick healthy shoots from the base and the first couple of leaf axils.  Pinching looks like a good thing to do.

Ah I think I'll give it a go then. Mine are starting to look a bit leggy. I thought of planting them out a bit deeper but decided the stems would just rot.
