   Do broad beans grow fast?

   • Broad beans have large seeds, produce big seedlings and grow quickly.

   • They're easy to grow from seed, yielding green pods of green or white beans that can be used in salads, stews and soups. They don't take up too much space and can be grown in the ground, in raised beds and in large pots. You can also buy young plants in early spring. Sow broad beans outside in spring or autumn, 20cm apart, in rows 60cm apart.

   How do you sow broad beans?

   • I like to sow broad beans into larger plug trays of all-purpose potting mix, one seed per plug, down to the same depth of about an inch (3cm) deep. Another option is to sow into small pots. Keep your sowings somewhere mice can’t get at them, because they have an uncanny knack of sniffing out the seeds and digging them up.
