Due to the bad weather conditions, July’s working party is now CANCELLED.

Broad beans are now ready to pick from the raised beds at the Berners Drive community garden.
Pick before they get too large to enjoy them young and succulent.
You can eat them raw or cooked. Wash before eating.
They can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
The RHS website says:
“Regular picking encourages further pods to form. Use secateurs or scissors, to avoid damaging the plants. Pods lower down the plants mature first – check them every few days, as pods can ripen fast.”
The garden is located at the bottom of Berner’s Drive, St Albans. Next to the playarea.
Please walk or cycle there is possible.
