Default Broad Beans Blown Over

"Davy" wrote in message
om...
In the high winds last night about a third of my broad beans (now in

flower)
were blown over. Should I try to right them and tie them to stakes or

are
they best left in there new horizontal positions?

thanks, Davy


Best to right them and tie them to stakes, but be gentle otherwise you
may damage them at ground level. Try one or two for a start and see how
they respond to your activity. Also, firm the soil gently around their
base.
