Peas and beans - productive croppers that feed the soil as they grow, fixing their own nitrogen. Give peas, runner and pole beans something to scramble up - broad beans and bush types just need a stake. Pick often and they will keep flowering for weeks.
Every crop here links to its full guide - sowing, growing, harvest and storage. 4 crops in this group.
