Vicia Faba
Dark purple colored beans fill massive pods. Minimal support required. Use fresh or as dry bean. Plant early spring. Also good for cover cropping.
Sun Requirements: sun/shade
Soil Preference: Rich, well draining garden soil (balanced pH)
When to Plant: Fava beans thrive in cooler temperatures & are frost tolerant, so plant in early Spring, when the soil is first workable (When you would plant peas.)
How to Plant: Soak bean seeds over night to quicken germination. Hoe out a shallow furrow, 1 inch deep. Space bean seeds every 2 inches. Cover seeds with soil & tamp down soil to improve contact with seeds. (Tamping also creates a trough that catches water, delivering it straight to the seeds!) Water thoroughly after planting.
When to Harvest: After about 75 days, when pods are plump & bright green.
