Broad bean shoot

It was supposed to be sunny and warm today but was cool and windy all morning. The sun did come out this afternoon when it did at last warm up. I planted my broad beans on the allotment today. I grow them in small polythene bags of compost on a sunny window sill first to give them a good start, then transplant them straight from the bags to the the ground. The bags act like a mini greenhouse.

That's really beautiful.i must go and get my seeds this weekend. I was a member of a gardening club the the instigator felt too old this year and it did not happen so no seeds begging to be planted.

It looks a little lonely. I hope you planted more.

@sabanford Ah yes, I planted lots, but was trying a macro shot for March.

Thanks for the tip - I love my electric propagator. I won't heat the greenhouse but I do love that!
