Beans have no vernalisation requirement so winter seeds are a useful hedge
I understand winter beans don’t require vernalisation but if I don’t get home saved Wizard beans in this autumn how late in the spring do I plant them? I haven’t got any spring beans to save and they’ll be expensive to buy, but as I direct drill if I end up into April would I have been better off buying a spring variety? I presume very late Spring drilled winter beans could be very slow to develop and get to harvest.Beans have no vernalisation requirement so winter seeds are a useful hedge
No real difference imvI understand winter beans don’t require vernalisation but if I don’t get home saved Wizard beans in this autumn how late in the spring do I plant them?

Looking like it will be 75 acres of beans now for you to claydon dril kind sir .
Seed all cleaned by E and P and all sat in bags now so ready when you get drilled up. Hoping the soya will be dry enough by Tuesday or Wednesday its coming off before the next lot of rain comes . As it doesn't shed like peas and still looks ok in the pods .Right-oh. If you can sort a dry fornight so we can get our wheat sown, you get your soya cut & I'll be over. The seed doesn't have to be magically clean but the drill seed pipes are only 25mm so not too much trash please.
Crikey our springs are still very green. If I was planning on spraying off, they aren't even at that stage yet!Just done ours at 15.4% . Now in s beans , stems are still very green but the beans are 16% .
That'll be handy. Pay for all the extra drying needed when I cut them in October!Longer in the bed more in the shed Zippy .
Did work for the couple of local people who combined last years spring beans this MarchLonger in the bed more in the shed Zippy .
