WEST COAST SEEDS BROAD BEANS WINDSOR

Broad Windsor is intended for growing as a food crop. The seeds it produces are large and succulent, unlike the small-seeded fava we offer as a cover crop.

The plants grow 90-120cm (3-4ft) tall. The light green pods, which contain 6-7 large pale green seeds each, shell easily.

Windsor broad bean seeds are superb for family gardens and easy for small children to handle.

Matures in 75-85 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

Starting Bush Bean Seeds

Direct sow from mid-spring to early summer.

Try to plant during a warm, dry spell. Soil must be warm – if it is not warm enough, seeds may rot, especially our untreated seeds. Optimal soil temperature: 21-32°C (70-90°F).

Seeds will sprout in 8-16 days, depending on soil conditions.

If the weather is too wet, beans can also be started in pots indoors and set out carefully a few weeks later.

Companion Planting For Beans

Beans fix nitrogen in the soil. Plant with Brassicas, carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries.

Avoid planting near chives, garlic, leeks, and onions.
