Traditionally in NZ broad beans are planted on ANZAC weekend. I am not sure what Mark and I were doing that weekend but we didnt plant our beans. Last weekend we finally managed to put in 3 rows. I am really the only one who appreciates them, I'm sure there are still some in the freezer from this years harvest. It doesnt stop me though. Not only is it rewarding to have something actually green in the garden over winter, but they are ready so soon in the spring and make a nice change to winter fare.
We also put a few bales of pea straw on our now-empty beds. The humble plot is already looking so wintery, and bare, it felt like we were tucking them in with a duvet for the winter.
