Hi,

New to this NG and also gardening.

The house we have moved to has an abandoned vegetable patch which I have
double dug twice (previous owner told me there was buried treasure - and I
believed him) and have dug in household compost and good quantity of rotten
stable manure.
Currently the plot has green manure, mustard etc., growing.

We would like to grow some early broad beans and are seeking advice as to
what varieties and when to sow etc.
Apart from a catch crop (next Spring ?) we would like to crop at regular
intervals.

Aquadulce Claudia have long been a popular overwintering Broad Bean
which are now being offered in the improved form of Super Aquadulce.
Imperial Green Longpod too are also suited to autumn sowing. There may
be just enough time to sow these varieties now depending on your region,
or they could be begun under cloches from mid-February. A good spring
sown variety to follow on with could be Green Windsor or if you'd like
to try a lower growing bush variety, The Sutton can give good results.

All can be ordered online from: www.OrganicCatalogue.com
