I thought it was only possible to grow broad beans one time per season in our climate (Denmark). This year, I grew another round with seed from the first generation sown in spring just for the edible shoots and flowers in late summer and fall. But now I am in fact getting beans on those too. That’s both an extra crop and also makes landracing much faster, because I can cross the plants two times per season.
