Which peas and beans should you grow?
With so many varieties available, there’s a pea or bean for almost every growing space. Climbing runner and French beans are particularly useful when you want to make the most of vertical space. Provide canes, a trellis or another suitable support and watch the plants climb upwards as they develop.
Dwarf varieties are a great alternative for smaller gardens and containers, as their compact growing habit means they require less space. Broad beans are another vegetable garden favourite and can provide generous harvests, while peas are hard to beat when picked fresh and enjoyed at their sweetest.
Why choose just one? Growing several different types can give you more variety in the kitchen and turn your vegetable patch into a wonderfully productive part of the garden.
Tips for growing peas and beans from seed
Peas and beans are suitable for both experienced vegetable growers and enthusiastic beginners. Follow the instructions on your chosen seed packet carefully, as sowing times and growing requirements can differ between varieties. A few general tips can also help you get started:
- Choose a sunny, sheltered growing position.
- Prepare the soil before planting and ensure it drains well.
- Water young plants regularly, particularly during dry periods.
- Provide climbing varieties with sturdy supports such as canes or trellis.
- Keep an eye on young seedlings and protect them from common garden pests where necessary.
- Harvest regularly once pods are ready to encourage continued cropping.
You can also sow certain varieties at intervals rather than all at once, helping to spread your harvest over a longer period. Always check the individual seed packet for the best sowing and harvesting times.
Enjoy freshly picked produce from your garden
One of the biggest advantages of growing your own peas and beans is being able to harvest them when they’re at their best. Pick fresh peas for salads and side dishes, add crunchy beans to stir-fries or serve your home-grown produce alongside your favourite summer meals.
Growing vegetables from seed can also make you appreciate your food in a completely new way. From sowing and watering to supporting plants and eventually harvesting the results, the whole process becomes part of the enjoyment. It’s a brilliant gardening project for adults and children alike.
