Broad beans

[weekendwellies]

Do you (or anyone else) suffer from the lack of light at this time of year? I don't want my broadies getting leggy and weak (some of my other early efforts look like they are struggling and spindly).

Is it worth waiting for spring to be a little more... sprung?

I have half a dozen sown at thw moment but will obviously want more than that in the longer term!

I personally havent had a problem with leggy broad beans, but I did with an early sowing of tomatoes one year, so have waited a few more weeks before starting them since as with most other seeds. If you are in doubt there is no harm in waiting a while longer.
