Wait. If you have flowers and bees I am sure you will get beans. The first flowers often drop off but then suddenly you will notice tiny embryonic beans just when you have given up. For only 6 plants they're not really taking up much space so give them a chance. BTW 6 is not going to be enough for you to get more than 1 or 2 pickings. I grow rows of about 24 plants in succession - about 5 rows in all. For four people.

Good luck!! I love this part of the gardening year. =)

Broad beans is the name given to favas in the UK. So 'Windsor' is the variety name. They can grow taller than knee high, depending on the variety. The ones I grow are generally between 2 and half and three feet but some grow taller. A simple way of stopping them blowing over is to place two stout sticks at each end of the row and run a string up one side and down the other. Each bean seed will produce one to three stiffish stems whith clusters of pleasantly perfumed black and white flowers (though there are red varieties) in the leaf axils. They are a cool weather crop. I sow some in November then again in February, March and April. We love them. (By the way, hope I'm not teaching my grandmother, but you eat the beans, not the pods generally, although some people like the immature pods cooked whole). Google broad beans for lots more information.
