Hi,

Planted some overwintering broad beans about 2 weeks ago. They plants have shot up and now have flowers on !!

Should I nip the tips out or just leave them to get on with it ? Will the future frosts kill them off ?

Cheers
Adam

They must be a different variety from ours that were planted 2 weeks ago and are still snuggling under the ground.

Maybe I got my timings mixed up. Things move a lot slower in my head than in real life. Was a little more than 2 weeks, that was just a guesstimate lol

Anyways, stuck some aquadulce in yesterday so we'll compare how they go :-) Dad (all knowledgeable man that he is) says just leave them to get on with it. They've got 2 chances. Then again he says that about most things green !!
