Juat a bit of advice, eat them when they are young otherwise they tend to get tough, shelled of course, and if you eat them very very young you can eat them shell and all . I think that is an aquired taste so try it but don't condemn the beans if you don't like them
Pich out the tops if the black flkies take up residence but wash the tops thoroughly and eat them.
Being English I could not imagine a garden without broadies.
I am growing some very old heirloom ones this year along with my usuals.
Go, go for it, they are a very easy crop. Don't let it get too compicated by reading too much.
In the UK they get bunged in the ground in February and that is basically it. I said earlier I usually start in 3 inch pots but that is only to make my rows more accurate..no gaps.
