I sowed 25 broad bean seeds late November in pots on the window ledge. All germinated and seem to have grown well.
Last week i began to try "harden off" six of the plants to transplant into a bed on the new lottie. I put the plants out during the day bringing them in on the night, this was done for a week.
I put the plants into their patch, i put canes corner to corner and attached twine in a grid like system to assist and support the plants. The beans were placed into a hole and lined with MPC before replacing the soil.
Two days later and they beans have gone for a burten
! They are black and well and truely dead!
Do you think i was just too early and eager to plant out or have i done something wrong? The broadies are very tall, approx 45cm in height, should i maybe nip off the growing tips of the others to try and make them less gangly and more solid or will this kill them also?
Should i also plant some direct into the soil with MPC to see if they germinate or is it still a little cold to go in direct?
Thanks all....
