I’m growing quite a few plants but they are only just starting to make pods so will be a while yet before we harvest. Never eaten the leaves though so must give that a try. How do you cook them?Green Dragonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577026799637153889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570121524012289667.post-35072907528356020082012-06-10T12:38:11.433+09:002012-06-10T12:38:11.433+09:00Beautiful fava flowers and beans, I'll have to...Beautiful fava flowers and beans, I'll have to try fall plant fava and see if they can withstand the cold here.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837486464329151966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570121524012289667.post-37651923861800906292012-06-09T16:17:07.046+09:002012-06-09T16:17:07.046+09:00Very pretty edible plants.

I am not sure if they can withstand the snow fall in your area, so perhaps you can experiment with spring planting... I suppose it would be feasible to do so... we have a few types of seeds on sale here in Japan, but I am quite indifferent to them... sorry for my ignorance in this part... anyway, good luck...Lrong Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071380270069499888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570121524012289667.post-37629795028656104472012-06-03T07:17:55.296+09:002012-06-03T07:17:55.296+09:00Yes, they are edible as are those from snap peas, ...Yes, they are edible as are those from snap peas, etc... tried chewing on the fava bean leaves while gardening but had not harvested them for the plate as yet...Lrong Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071380270069499888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570121524012289667.post-12048792779075036922012-06-03T06:52:42.669+09:002012-06-03T06:52:42.669+09:00I have wanted to try fava beans before.Do you have...I have wanted to try fava beans before.Do you have to plant them in the fall?
