Reliable, vigorous and perfect for cooler seasons, Mr Fothergill’s Broad Bean ‘Early Long Pod’ is a classic variety known for its early cropping and generous yields. Producing long, well-filled pods packed with large, flavourful beans, it’s a staple for home gardeners looking for a dependable harvest.
This hardy variety thrives in cooler conditions and is ideal for autumn and winter planting in most Australian climates. Its upright growth makes it easy to manage, and it’s well suited to garden beds or larger veggie patches.
Broad beans are incredibly versatile in the kitchen—delicious fresh, steamed, sautéed or added to hearty dishes.
Tip: Pinch out the growing tips once the plant starts to set pods—this helps direct energy into bean production and can also reduce issues with aphids.
