Broad Bean ‘Super Aquadulce’ is one of the best varieties for autumn sowing, producing an early crop of tasty beans well before spring-sown plants. It’s a heavy cropper, producing masses of long slender pods packed with top-quality tender white beans. Harvest young for the best flavour. Any surplus beans will freeze well for later use.

Sow outdoors

Sow individual seeds 5cm (2in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart. Broad beans are usually sown in double rows about 25cm (10in) apart. Allow 60cm (24in) between each set of double rows.

Harvest

Harvest June - July. Pick them as young as possible for the very best flavour. When very young, they can be cooked and eaten in their pods. Broad beans are delicious cooked, cooled and used in salads too. To deter black fly, pinch out the growing tips when young bean pods start to develop.

How To Grow

A staple of the vegetable garden for centuries, broad beans are easy to grow and one of the first crops of the year to harvest. They grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the ground ahead by clearing weeds and stones, then dig in garden compost or well-rotted manure. Lining a shallow trench with newspaper can also help retain moisture.


Indoor Sowing
For an early start, sow indoors using deep pots or root trainers filled with moist, free-draining compost. Sow one seed per pot around 5cm deep and keep them in a cool, bright spot—broad beans don’t need high heat to germinate. This is ideal if outdoor conditions are too harsh early in the season.


Planting Out
Once seedlings reach 10–15cm tall, harden them off gradually over 7–14 days before transplanting. Place outside for a few hours each day, increasing exposure to wind and temperature. Transplant into beds or larger pots, spacing plants 20cm apart in rows 30cm apart.


Outdoor Sowing
Direct sowing is simple and effective. Sow seeds 5cm deep in well-prepared soil, keeping the ground moist as seedlings establish. Provide support for taller varieties to keep them upright.


Harvesting
Pick pods as soon as they ripen, and harvest regularly to encourage more pods. Frequent picking stimulates further flowering and extends your crop.
