Nicola - I meant 2 weeks from sowing, not 2 weeks from now. Sow some more fast if you want any this year.

I have sown broad beans right through the summer in succession and got a crop, they don't much like being sown late, but you still get beans

I planted mine out 2 weeks ago and they have just started to push through.

Less than a week to start shooting in the green house.
If you don't have a green house don't worry. Put some in pots about 4cm deep and keep moist but not wet, then just place them in a sunny window, but you have to be quick, its getting a bit late in the season.

Hi

Do you have to pinch out runner beans when they get to the top of their climbing frame? It's so long since I've grown them I've forgotten:o . TIA.
