The broad beans grow frustratingly slowly, I start them at the beginning of winter and they start to produce beans soon, you might be too late, I don't think they like the heat, but its worth a try!

I am glad to see you have broad beans, i thought i could not plant them until feb. So I am going to put some in and see how they get on, even though it may be a little late for them now. Also what is the variety of kale in your basket that looks almost black - looks like cavolo nero (italian) kale?lizzie {Strayed Table}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02780078173100461193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-25641917903956875272013-09-02T15:16:06.905+10:002013-09-02T15:16:06.905+10:00We're distracted by babies too!

Totally understandable why you're distracted. :)<br />I never realised broadbean flowers could look so pretty, but they're probably too big to be grown in a pot on a balcony.

We are hoping for some rain soon, or fire season will be really bad.<br />My garden is growing well; beans, broad beans, snow peas, strawberries, calendula, pak choy, silverbeet, broccoli and roma tomato are all thriving, sheep water seems to agree with them. I love spring and autumn; when there is such a blending of winter and summer crops.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182408012625352004noreply@blogger.com
