Excerpt from Annual Catalogue of Seeds, Plants, &C., 1890 English broad beans should be planted in the spring as early as the ground will permit. If planted late, they are usually overtaken by hot weather, also attacked by a small fly: these together result in, the ruin of the crop. Plant sparingly, in rows two feet apart, in an good soil, and cultivate only in fair weather, and when the foliage is dry. As the po 5 get formed, top the plants, thus avoiding too much running to vine. Gather for cooking when the beans are grown to about half their natural size.
