Planted the first row of Broad Beans on the allotment having started them off in pots.

 Just about the right time to plant them out: nice leafy growth on top and a good mass of roots below. If I'd left it any longer they would have become 'potbound' but I was able to gently tease out the clump of roots at the bottom of the pot.

 Earlier in the year I trench composted for three rows. Hopefully the combination of organic matter, regular watering and sunshine will produce a good yield. As mentioned in a previous entry these are a reliable Victorian variety called Mr. Bunyard's Exhibtion first introduced circa 1835. Thank you Mr. Bunyard.
