Thank you! - fava bean donation


Thank you to Brian Pierini of Geisel Library for fava bean donations!
We are grateful for your seed-sharing!


"Fava bans grow slowly but steadily over the “cold” months with very little blossoms, but as soon as spring comes they just explode with seed pods. Of course, this is San Diego, so the weather can change from year to year. The fava plants fix nitrogen, being a legume, and the leaves and stalks can be composted later. (Some cultures even cook the leaves.)"
