Broad Bean help

TraceyB_2

We are growing some broad beans but not sure if all is well - its our first year of GYO so we are still very much on a learning curve!

We have nice strong leaves, they are growing well (supported) some black and white leaves but no 'pods' as yet. The flowers are starting to die off now - should the pods appear before the flowers die?

Have googled and cant come up with much other than a picture of the flower with a pod popping out of the middle - we have none of these:(

Is anyone able to confirm whether something has gone wrong or if I am worrying over nothing.

Thanks:D

Hi,the flowers die off after pollination,then the plant produces the pods which contain the seeds,which ,in this case ,are called beans.

Same thing happened to me a couple of days ago and I thought "Oh no! My lovely bean plants are all dying!". Then I looked this evening and saw some little bean pods where the flowers had been :-)

Thanks SO much, thought that after a lovely display of flowers they were about to start shrivelling up and keeling over.

Note to self - learn to be more patient:mad:!

Thanks again :beer:
