Beautiful Fava plants
My first time growing favas. Sowed in early May (zone 7) in a raised bed; they germinated in 8 days. Plants are healthy and growing well….about 10” tall by the first week of June. I plan to try a second sowing in late summer to see if they’ll overwinter for a spring crop (suggested by Farmers Almanac).
