First Broad Bean

Afte several years I have given up on them as they are just too much work
for the result. Yes they are very nice when young and fresh. But you have
to grow a lot of plants to get a few beans and then there is much shelling
and peeling. After harvesting I could fill a compost bay with the plants
and shells for a couple of kilos of edibles. Of course if you get a strong
wind (I mean blowing over the garden not after you eat them) the buggers
blow down and turn in circles.
are they vines/climbers?
