When do you pick broad beans

I have grown some broad beans and thay are quite large, if I pick them now will that encourage more to grow?

Unless you like woody broad beans with your dinner, pick them when they're about 6 ins long and you can feel the beans in the pod.
Picking the ones that are ready will allow the ones that are forming to develop.
