Growing broad beans

Broad beans are also called fava beans and have been grown in ancient Greece and Rome. Teh are still very popular in the Mediterranean cuisin and are an importand souce of protein. The beans can be dried for conservation. 

Unlike other beans, the broad beans prefer cool weather and can therefore be planted and harvested much earlier. 

Direct seed

Broad beans can be precultivated, but it is easier to sow them directly. They need only 4-5 degrees soil temperature and are one of the earliest crops to get started in spring. They are often sown in compination with potatoes. Some varieties are hardy enough to be sown in the autumn if winter temperature stays above -12°C. The Digital Gardener can provide you with information about a wide range of different broad bean varities.

Precultivation an planting out

Broad beans can also be precultivated for early harvest. Seed them approximately 5 cm deep in trays or pots. The beans will grow fast so don’t seed them more than 2-3 weeks before you plan to plant them outdoors. They also tend to be very tall and thin if grown inside with insufficient light. 

Harvest

Start picking the individual pods when the green shell beans inside are plump. Harvesting will encourage the plant to set more pods. For dry beans, wait until pods are dry before harvest.

Pests and diseases

 

Birds love the seeds and the small sprouts so you may need to cover the plants until they grown a bit. 

The primary disorder responsible for leaf and pod blackening and spotting is a virus spread by aphids. The disease is most prevalent in hot weather.

  29. Crypto news!

    Ripple, the company behind popular cryptocurrency XRP, has been announced as an official partner of a key subgroup under a Bank for International Settlements (BIS) committee. This could be a massive development in the company’s pursuit to create a crypto ecosystem between central banks around the world.

    Ripple Named As Key BIS Committee Partner

    This announcement comes at a time when the altcoin is back to being in bullish space thanks to the recently delivered Summary Judgment in the Ripple lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The judgment effectively said that the token can not be deemed a security if it is sold through an exchange or through programmatic sales for retail buyers, while the previous judgment holds when it comes to institutional sales.

    According to the announcement, Ripple is now an official partner of the ‘Cross-border payments interoperability and extension taskforce’. The taskforce is a subgroup within the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures. The BIS announcement comes just few days after Michael Miebach, chief executive officer at payments company Mastercard, revealed that his company is in collaboration with the likes of Ripple in relation to a new central bank digital currency (CBDC) partner program.

    What Next For XRP Price?

    Meanwhile, the XRP price saw significant volatile trend in the last few days, thanks to the recent developments like the SEC’s filing for interlocutory appeal in the lawsuit against Ripple. Earlier, CoinGape reported that traders could be rewarded if they hold on until the token hits a target of $0.62 next. Compared to the beginning of the year 2023, the XRP price jumped by a whopping 54%, compared to the 58% jump in Bitcoin price during the same period.

  38. In a surprising development, Ripple, the payments company behind the crypto token XRP, has joined hands with Jared Isaacman, who is Elon Musk’s partner at SpaceX. The billionaire founder of payments processing company Shift 4, flew to the Earth orbit on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule in 2021. In a latest development, Ripple had officially announced it was working on a donations project in collaboration with Isaacman.

    XRP Donations Along With SpaceX Partner

    Ripple had officially announced it was joining Isaacman in the XRP and crypto donations project for the Maui Emergency Response Fund. Accordingly, XRP has been added as one of the crypto donations options to charities on The Giving Block, a crypto donation solution provider. The company said,

    “Ripple will be joining Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman and the next $50K USD in any crypto donations made to the Maui Relief Fund will be matched 200%.”

    The partnership involves Donation Matching, which means one party matches the contribution of another party. In this case, Ripple had pledged to match along with Isaacman in contributing double the crypto donations received upto $50,000.

    More To Come Between Jared Isaacman and Ripple?

    Although the collaboration is no concrete signal of the SpaceX partner’s close links with Ripple, it remains to be seen if there is more to be uncovered. Elon Musk is popularly known for his tweets on Dogecoin and during the bull run in 2021, his tweets had a major impact on the crypto market. SpaceX and Tesla had added the Dogecoin payment option on their websites for sale of company merchandise.

  40. Bitcoin finds itself on the cusp of a concerning technical indicator: the “Death Cross.” This phenomenon occurs when Bitcoin’s 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) crosses below its 200-day SMA.

    Forbes analyst Steven Ehrlich recently highlighted this trend, which often signals impending bearish momentum.

    For the uninitiated, moving averages help smooth out price data to create a single flowing line, making it easier to identify the direction of the trend.

    Bitcoin’s modest volatility

    Investor sentiment has been tense, with Bitcoin’s price showing modest volatility within a 24-hour range of $25,641.06 to $25,925.03.

    According to CoinGecko data, Bitcoin’s market cap is a formidable $503.8 billion.

    However, the looming Death Cross could disrupt this relative stability,.

    It is not a guarantee of an upcoming bear market, but it does raise eyebrows among market participants.

  61. ANZ, one of Australia’s “Big Four” banks, has completed a transaction with tokenized assets utilizing its A$DC stablecoin and Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP.

    The development showcased the bank’s capability to transfer funds across both open and private blockchain networks, furthering experiments being conducted to test the efficiency and security of deploying real-world assets on-chain.

    According to a statement by Chainlink on social platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the move Wednesday “builds on the lessons learned” from the Swift blockchain interoperability initiative, originally conducted in June.

    The effort, a joint venture between leading global banks and The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, seeks to test the limits of blockchain interoperability.

    Its objective: Offering major financial institutions a centralized gateway to various networks, in a bid to reduce the operational hurdles and investment required to link the global financial system.

    Banks involved included BNP Paribas, BNY Mellon, Citi, Clearstream, Euroclear, Lloyds Banking Group, SIX Digital Exchange (SDX), and The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), in addition to ANZ or the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group.

    Chainlink has played a central role in understanding whether banks and the crypto sector can coexist in harmony, challenging commonly held concerns associated with retail CBDCs.

    Chainlink’s product, which has so far been well received, serves as a “universal messaging interface” for communication between various chains by utilizing its Oracle network.

    CCIP works with two separate Oracle networks. One network handles sending messages and transferring value, while the other watches over to make sure those transactions aren’t risky, Blockworks was previously told.

    “The bank’s work with its A$DC stablecoin and the tokenization of real-world assets has already provided us with valuable lessons as we continue to investigate enterprise-grade use cases,” Nigel Dobson, ANZ’s banking services portfolio lead said in a statement on Wednesday.

    “Based on market activity, we expect the continued adoption of digital assets will result in the proliferation of multiple assets across many blockchain networks.”

    — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 16, 2023

    The fallout from this breach became evident when a hacker address linked to a compromised user account showed a significant loss of $1.39 million on September 2. Subsequently, the iToken system issued warnings to users about potential security risks associated with certain wallet addresses.

    To safeguard user assets, a security agency collaborated with Refundyourcoins, successfully transferring the compromised funds to a secure address. Refundyourcoins is now set to launch a retrieval function to assist affected users in recovering their assets, covering four major blockchain networks: BTC, ETH, TRX, and XRP.

    This incident echoes a previous data breach that struck the crypto exchange in June 2021, exposing user assets and critical technical information. In a recent development, Huobi has rebranded itself as HTX, while its official website will retain the Huobi name. This rebranding aims to refresh the exchange’s identity while preserving familiarity for its user base.

    The emergence of Trojan viruses, disguised as legitimate software, continues to pose a serious threat to cybersecurity. These malware variants aim to gain unauthorized access to users’ systems through social engineering tactics, emphasizing the importance of robust security measures in the cryptocurrency space.
