I spotted the first tiny pods on the bottom of the first plant
yesterday. I'm no broad bean expert, I've only been growing them for 2
years, so I have no idea how to convert that into time til cropping


They swell up very quickly at this time and with plenty of water. Mine
aren't much bigger than yours.

Good luck.
