Well adapted to cool season growing, it performs strongly through winter and spring and tolerates frost once established. Plants are robust and upright, making them well suited to home gardens and small scale production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"466\"\u003eApproximately 15 seeds per packet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"685\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"550\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"553\"\u003eTropics: April to June\u003cbr data-start=\"575\" data-end=\"578\"\u003eSubtropics: March to July\u003cbr data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"606\"\u003eMild climates: February to August\u003cbr data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"642\"\u003eCold climates: late summer through spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"687\" data-end=\"1158\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"687\" data-end=\"708\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"711\"\u003eSow seed directly into well drained soil in full sun. Sow seed 5 to 7 cm deep and space plants 20 to 25 cm apart, with rows 60 to 75 cm apart. Broad beans prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil and moderate fertility. Avoid excessive manure, which can promote leafy growth over pod production. In warmer areas, pinching out the growing tips after flowering begins can improve pod set. Plants may benefit from light support as they grow and mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/EdenSeeds_ACO_ACOCertifiedOrganic.jpg?v=1761179582\" alt=\"Certified Organic\" style=\"width: 177px; height: 95px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649682165978,"sku":null,"price":4.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/V_Bean_Broad_BigBen.jpg?v=1766020687","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/bean-broad-big-ben-903-organic","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
