Getting some decent handfuls of Broad Beans from the allotment. Tasty, but by the time they've been double podded you end up with rather a small portion. I think Runner Beans are the better option where you eat the whole thing, pod and all.
 As mentioned previously [entry dated 1st. July] the Broad Beans are growing among a sea of self-seeded Borage. Perhaps this reduces the yield and it does make them harder to pick- the stems and leaves of Borage are bristly and the flowers are covered in bees. I'm not bothered, happy to see all the flowers and bees.
