Handy Harvesting Guide | Vegetables
Nothing tastes better than home-grown vegetables: from vege patch to plate

BEANS
SUMMER CROP
Royal Burgundy, Blue Lake (Bush), Provider (Bush Bean), Snake Beans, Aquadulce (Broad), Egyptian (Broad), Climbing/Runner Beans
We have many different varieties and plant them in mid-Spring to early Summer. Pick your beans when they reach 12-14cm in length. Regular picking encourages more new beans to grow.
WINTER CROP
Broad Beans
They prefer cooler temperatures and are best planted in Autumn. They should be picked when you can only just feel the beans inside them. If they are left to get too big they can become tough and lose their sweetness.

BROCCOLI
Belstar, Di Ciccio Broccoli is the king of our Winter crop.
We plant broccoli in Autumn and do not stagger the growth as broccoli can be preserved. It is good to remove the sprouting broccoli shoots for the first few weeks as this encourages more growth giving you thicker heads come harvest.
