Any ideas what could be planted in the gap between the broad beans? it would have to withstand a period of shading.
Lettuces don't mind a bit of shade.
i was thinking parsnip or beetroot, or would that be too much shade when they're just getting going?
Radish ? Up and out before the broad beens get too tall.
There will be no gaps between my broad beans. Tend to end up like a jungle. Another vote here for the radishes but they will have to be very quick.
I plant my broad beans in a 10x10 grid, each seed 8in x 8in apart.
There's no room for anything else to grow in the same space.
