BROAD BEAN : AQUADULCE CLAUDIA

23/04/

Broad Bean Aquadulce Claudia sown 

last November are doing well showing 

plenty of flower.

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

This variety is universally recognised 

as being the best variety for an autumn sowing. 

It establishes itself very quickly, easily 

and will produce a very early and heavy 

reliable crop of white beans, 

on medium sized plants of 6-7 beans per pod.

~~~~~~~~

·         Sow from early autumn to late winter in an open sunny site preferably on ground which has been manured for a previous crop.

·         Sow in double rows 7cm (2in.) deep, 23cm (9in.) apart in the row. The double rows should be spaced 23cm (9in.) apart and a distance of 40-60cm (18-24in.) should be left before the next set of double rows.

·         Keep free of weeds.

·         Pinch out the tops of the plants as soon as four clusters of bloom are showing.

·         Harvest the beans when the pods are well fat and the seed still soft.
