We had great success with our broad beans Linda. Just picking the last of them now and putting them away in the freezer. Tim’s mad on them, could eat them at every meal🤣Have an awesome weekend and we’ll chat again soon xx Cathi xx 😘
How lovely to see you again Linda, and especially with those beautiful beans! They have done well this year! Just to reassure people not familiar with broad beans. It's not essential to double pod them. Some people, me included, love to eat big robust beans where every one is a mouthful! I pressure canned a croo of broad beans in recycled screw top jars. They turned an amazing shade of dark brick red, but tasted just as good.
@huttonsvalleypermaculture They're very filling. I tend to steam a big pot of veggies, all together, and I do have to confess that large broad beans like this stain the potatoes an interesting shade of grey. But that does not deter me. And there's nobody else to complain!
@huttonsvalleypermaculture Broad beans are infamous for their colour. They're the main ingredient in Br,own Windsor Soup, which I haven't tried, for some unknown reason!!
Love the fava beans. The scent of the flowers definitely was something this season. I've harvested my green ones for freezer and this year have saved many dry ones to try making felafel 😊 That trellis system sure would have helped here! 😂 Lovely to see your face. Thanks also for the message on Nacho's page 😊 😊
Good luck with the falafel - I’ve never tried making that - maybe next year!! Yes the raspberries are doing well & I expect a second big flush in autumn. Lots of jam for my stall! Good to hear from you!! (Did you see my video last month??)
@@huttonsvalleypermaculturethe spring veg garden, yes i did 😀 i haven't had much capacity for comments lately, but have the bell set for all yours ❤ Felafel seemed like a good idea, i eat enough of them and are not keen on the dry ones so thought i should make them before i criticise others 😂
So nice to see your video pop up today 🥰Those beans look huge. Well done on that trellis. Broad beans are good food but aren't our favourite here. I have a friend rhat loves them though . Happy first day of Summer and thanks for sharing lovely ❤❤
Hi Naomi you probably have more options of what to grow during winter being in a warmer climate! I find they’re a good option for the cold months here and are tasty too ! Thanks for watching 😊
@@huttonsvalleypermaculture Im doing well mate. Im Still able to do some chores at the farm . Lots of rain lately, greener than Ireland up here at the moment
Thanks Linda.
It's great to see the cycle from beginning to end and I loved the way you built that support for them.
Pleased you enjoyed it & thanks for watching 😊
Hi Linda =-) I'm eating my broad beans now. Not a big fan when they get big but lovely to eat when small. Good to see the garden is looking good. =-)
Hi Lorraine - bit fiddly but I do like those little green beans! Garden needs a lot of work - will hopefully get time soon. Hope you are well 😊
I don't think I've ever eaten broad beans. They look like they would be delicious. I'm glad the wire trellises worked well for you.
I never had them before growing them myself - they’re good!

Hi Ruby - you just single pod them! Maybe I’ll try them like that - don’t think I have before!!
Thanks for the suggestion

@deborahlee8135 let me know how you go with the falafels!!
Great to see your video again. Hope the house and health are making progress. I didn't realize you can double pod them.
Not everyone double pods but I like them that way!! Getting there with house & health 😊

Hey Bernie how are ya??

@Bernie5172 green is better than a dry brown that goes up in flames!! Good to hear you’re up for a chore or two 😊
Nice harvest, might need to give that idea a go. Incase you don't pop up in my newsfeed, merry Christmas and a happy new year.🎀🎄🎀🎊🍾🥂
Thanks Christa - may get another one out by then but if not, seasons greetings to you too ☺️
