Customer Reviews
Lost one star because I really wanted a specific variety. Still excited to plant these for overwintering. Early spring fava beans are the best!
These grew multistem 3ft plants. May need to be held up with a florida weave once the branches get loaded with pods. These overwintered in our zone 7 winter and produced in the spring. They taste great eaten fresh. I saved some harvested seeds and planted more mid October and they are already 6inche...
Recvd quickly. Not grown this b4
I planted these seeds 16 days ago and less than 3/4 of them have come up in the last 3 days. The leaves that I can see look like they'll be attractive plants.
You can never go hungry with a patch of Fava in Your Garden. I bought these seed two years ago, They reseeded and now I get so much food. My plants grow winter, Spring and Early Summer. They would probably grow in fall but I don’t water, in Los Angeles California they grow during rainy season.
They are growing well in this cold Idaho springtime weather! Thanks :)
Fast shipping & all the Fava seeds sprouted!
Order came quickly and as described. Thanks
