Johnsons Broad Bean Aguadulce Seeds

Established and cold tolerant, this broad bean is an early sowing, white seeded variety. The vigorous growing plants produce long pods with 8-9 good flavoured beans in each. It is a popular variety in Italy and often used in pasta dishes. Easy to grow and versatile, peas and beans make a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. As well as being a traditional side, legumes also provide a terrific source of protein for a vegan diet. Peas and broad beans prefer cool conditions but need to be grown in full sun or partial shade. Short on space? Many varieties are well suited to growing in plant pots. Ideally you do not want to overcook either peas or beans, keeping just a touch of crispness.
