I recollect in my distant memory my Mother harvesting broad beans in July in Scotland and we would pod them out and then blanch them briefly in boiling water for a minute or so before putting them in containers to freeze down for the Winter. Now I harvest my broad beans listening to my I pod as I pod the beans..of course listening to podcasts as i do...

Dont ask me what the dog is listening to..I pod Broad Beans Not exactly black and white.....
