Eight weeks after sowing, the broad beans are growing well. Several of the seeds have failed to germinate, or have been pulled up by birds, and will be resown once the soil warms up. Notice the soil compaction and capping due to the heavy rains, and the signs of pooling of water in the paths.
Some of the seedlings have started to develop their third pair of leaves.
We dug up one of the seedlings to have a look, and the root system is already well developed and reaches at least 15cm down into the soil. No nitrogen fixing nodules are visible yet.
