    bluebells in raised bed.

    Really sorry if this is a silly question and it raises a few smiles, but i'm a complete novice at this and I have tried to look for the answer, but alas I can't find one.

    Anyway, I have a raised bed full of bluebells, but it would make an ideal spot to sow some broad beans. My question; is it fine to leave the bluebells? will they harm the broad beans? or should I dig them all up? or just clear a space at the back to plant the beans. Can they live side by side?

    Anyone please.

    Thanks.

    Plant the beans but once the plants are done cut the beanstalks back leaving the roots in the bed to fix nitogen into the soil and rot down...

    easy peasy.... the bluebells will be fine! They're used to competing for space in the wild x
    Serene she stand amid the flowers,
    And only count lifes sunny hours,
    For her dull days do not exist,
    Evermore the optimist

      Thank you so much for your help and a great tip about the roots.

      Will get on with it this weekend.
