  1. Hi Adam, I hope to get my broad beans in this next week. I have never had problems with mice in the past but there is always a first time. By the way,the Cosmos I have sown for you have all germinated. See you soon, Dave.

  2. Hi Adam, my beans put their head above the soil Wednesday they were planted directly into the ground type Aguadulce Dick, fellow plot holder visited the plot today said his had all been eaten by the mice. Nothing better than fresh young beans for dinner. Dicks having the mice with mint sauce tomorrow. Good video very informative. Give the slow-mo another go it will be interesting. Take care Mike B

  3. Hi Adam, great explanation about how to grow Broad beans. Shame about the time lapse. It’s really great that you were able to show the root system. That plant had grown really well in just 10 days. Take care. Nick

  4. Adam, thank you for explaining this bit about the broad bean. I did plant some in fall here, but the winter has just been too harsh and I do believe they have given up trying to grow. Thank you also for showing how the roots grow. I think I may try using the remaining seeds and see how they make out. Have a great today! Catherine

  5. I'm ashamed to say I've never grown them as I thought they were supposed to be a bit faffy when it comes to preparing them for eating – but I don't really know.
    Shame about the time lapse thing not working.
    I'm wondering if there are anymore veg, where watching them growing on time lapse would work ?
    Cheers….. Kevin

  6. Hello Adam this was an interesting video for me and I want to share something with you I sowed my beans in my country it’s call double beans I did the same as you did just planted it to my surprise I had my roots growing above the sow I had to take it out of the pot and plant it the right way. That was a surprise to me. Anyway my bean plant is growing ready to be planted in its bed. Awesome video Adam

  7. I planted a few of these things in the Autumn, they did survive the winter but they aren't much bigger than the one you had in the specimen jar that had only planted 10 days ago. Have another go at the time lapse, that specimen looked fine and dandy, as did your pointy stick. Talk later mate 🙂

  8. That looks like an interesting variety of broad beans. Like you I usually do Bunyards – but the giant exhibition long pod variety sounds good. Very helpful video. Thank you.

  9. I planted my broad beans in root trainers in Nov and left them in plastic greenhouse. I planted them out on Sunday. I have planted butter beans 2 years running with great success. Have you thought about growing them – no good of course if you don't like them.

  10. Hi, I have an 8×6 greenhouse and have purchased some shading for one side but I'm thinking will I need it for both sides of greenhouse as my Tomato plants will be on both sides.

  11. I tried growing broad beans a number of times three times in the house for 3 years 2 times outside for 1 year and the ones outside got eaten by the Slugs snails and birds the ones in the house well they just decided let me grow a little and then die so I'm not going to try them again
