Before and After Planting

Before

Before the Broad Beans were planted, I had to harvest the Fennel. Then I added more peat free compost to the whole of the raised bed.

After

After the planting out, I now have 5 Broad Bean plants in a row. Normally you should plant them in double rows, if they are tall plants. I’m growing a smaller variety that is good for windy gardens called Elenora
