Broadbeans flowering? - should I remove

[sanman]

My broadbeans are only about 10" tall (Dreadnought) but have started flowering already! Should I remove the flowerheads until the plants are taller and have bulked out a bit?

[Waffler]

Dunno, but mine are about the same height and have small pods on aswell as flowers.

No, leave them be, they will set pods as they grow. Some varieties are not very tall anyhow.

[rustylady]

NO!!!!!! Leave them alone. Lots of broad beans are dwarf varieties and they will produce beautiful beans without growing too tall.
