WHAT ARE THOMPSON & MORGAN THOMPSON 'THE SUTTON' BROAD BEAN SEEDS?

This fantastic dwarf variety is exceptionally productive, forming plenty of 15 cm (6”) pods containing as many as five small, delicious beans, which are also excellent for freezing. Broad Bean 'The Sutton' is perfect for successional sowings in spring. They can also be sown under cloches in autumn for early crops the next year. These neat compact plants are ideal for small gardens. Plant heights can reach a demure: 30 cm (12”) with a spread of 25 cm (10”).

 

Garden tip: Beans, like all other legumes, are great for adding nitrogen to the soil. You can easily plant them with corn, potatoes, celery, and cucumber.

 

Garden tip: Broad beans are cheap and easy to grow from seeds. They are the perfect vegetable for beginners or children; they're happy in the ground, on raised beds or in pots. Broad beans are an exceptional vegetable choice for modest plots, delivering high yields from a comparatively small garden area. 

HOW DO I SOW THOMPSON & MORGAN THOMPSON 'THE SUTTON' BROAD BEAN SEEDS?

Direct sow broad bean seeds under cloches in February or without protection between March and April. For particularly early crops, some varieties of broad beans can be sown outdoors under cloches from early autumn time to late winter.

 

  • Grow in full sun on rich, fertile, well-manured soil that has some shelter from powerful winds.
  • Plant your broad beans in double rows set 23 cm (9”) apart and leave a space of at least 60 cm (24”) between each of your double rows. 
  • Broad beans, in each row, should be sown 5 cm (2”) deep and 23 cm (9") apart. Don't forget to water well; germination usually takes around ten days.
  • Harvest your broad beans when the pods are full and the seed is still soft. Best eaten when freshly picked, home-grown crops are far superior to those found in supermarkets when it comes to flavour.

 

Garden Tip: Reinforce your plants by placing a support cane at each corner of a double row. Tie in with string, which will benefit those in incredibly windy gardens. 

 

Garden Tip: Keep well-watered and be sure to hoe regularly between rows. Deter blackflies by pinching the growing tips after the first flowers have set pods. This will also encourage other pods to develop.
