First, the soil retains some of the heat from summer, which promotes seed germination. In addition, weather conditions in autumn are generally ideal, with mild temperatures and more frequent rainfall, creating an environment conducive to the growth of young plants. Regarding root development, sowing in the fall allows plants to establish a strong root system before the arrival of winter, promoting their survival and subsequent growth in the spring. In addition, in the fall, weed growth slows, reducing competition for seedlings. Sowing at this time also promotes flowering in the spring, allowing for a colorful garden from the beginning of the season. In some regions with mild climates, it is possible to sow these legumes in the fall for an early spring harvest. This depends on the geographical area and local climatic conditions. As a general rule, for most regions, sowing broad beans, beans, and peas is more common in the spring when temperatures are milder, promoting successful germination and growth.
