SOWING: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or plant in fall for over-wintering. Plant seeds 1 inch deep.

SPACING: Plant seeds 5 to 6 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart. Space rows closer for intensified planting.

GERMINATION: One to two weeks depending upon soil temperature. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.

Ed’s Special Advice: Easy to grow, ideal for coastal climates. A good rotation crop as plants fix nitrogen in the soil which is beneficial to other crops grown later in the same soil. Plant at the same time as you would peas. Unlike regular garden beans favas thrive during the cooler part of the growing season.

SEED SAVING: Let bean pods dry completely on the plant. Remove from pods and store in a cool, dry place.
