Default Broad beans peeping through

I sowed 50 broad beans a couple of days after christmas and have
been looking out for signs of growth every day, and to my amazement
after the snow melted (yesterday) what do I see?
A very close inspection reveals 14 very very young plants, as if
someone fired a starting pistol, cos today another 7 are poking out.

I had almost given up!

As a novice gardener this is wwwwooooooooow


Yes they are tough plants. My second lot are about the same as yours. If
you have room sow some more in March to make a succession of young beans
to pick.

No sign here of my Suttons, still hope perhaps then!
