I started off some broadbean seeds in modules about a month ago, and then promptly forgot about them! They are now about a foot tall and extremely leggy. Can I nip the tops off (ok, about six inches) to encourage them to bush up a bit?

Yes I would go for it. If the tops get frosted they will generally resprout.
Leggy beans aren't worth pampering either at they won't be strong enough to hold a crop so I would just do it.Last edited by Scarlet; 22-03-2019, 08:34 PM. -
Thanks, thats what i was thinking too. I do have half a dozen autumn sown ones at the allotment, i only sowed these to finish the packet off!Comment

I put French bean out once too early - they got frosted tops so I pinched them out and I had a fabulous crop so it's always worth a go.Comment
