The Sutton
A dwarf broad bean that tops out at about a foot tall. Perfect for pots, window boxes, and anyone who doesn't want to build scaffolding for their legumes.

Broad bean and bacon salad
Fry lardons until crisp. Toss with double-podded beans, a handful of pea shoots, a squeeze of lemon, and the warm bacon fat as dressing. Simple and devastating.
