    broad bean help

    Not found my answer after searching...

    Due to the mild weather my recently sown broadies have gone a bit mad. They are about 8 inches high. They are in cold greenhouse in loo rolls. But they are flopping over as presumably are too big for the loo rolls now. Should I pot them on and stake them and leave them in the g/h or plant them out? The soil planted ones outside are only about an inch high and planted at the same time.

    Thanks

    The ones in the soil have been done proper like. The greenhouse ones, as you've realised, have been too warm.

    You now need to harden them off for a few days and get them planted outside. They might benefit from being nipped off, otherwise all that soft floppy topgrowth will only get ripped by the wind.

      Thanks. I will do that.
      I guess I remembered last year when we had snow at the end of October!
