Hi, I planted a crop of broad beans 10 days ago and there are no shoots and some of the seeds have just somehow come to the surface without taking. There was a few days of very heavy rainfall after I planted them. If they do not come up in the next few days should I plant another crop?

poke them back in and wait another week or so if none have popped replant. I recommend a variety called gippsland giant they have great flavour and grow well in temperate climates!
