Plant of the Day

Wednesday 6 November 2019

A seedling of the hardy annual Vicia faba (broad bean, fava bean, faba bean) has germinated in this rather unusual mobile ‘garden’. In sheltered, southerly gardens on a well-drained soil, broad beans can be sown directly into the soil in early November for harvests as early as May. I’m not sure if this plant will survive till harvest?

#chopAndDrop while #fava #favaBeans flowering stage still OK. The chopped green material brings N to subsequent crops. Just don’t chop after it is setting #beans , then fava plants divert #Nitrogen to the beans, which u don’t want that to happen! [NOTE: didn’t finish whole IGTV #video YET! so might be missing more tidbits of valuable info] . Reposted/#regrann from @the_happy_herban My #coverCrop #gardening #garden bed full of #favaBean plants and #crimsonClover is really hitting its #springtime stride.

Now available: Broad Windsor Fava Bean seeds in bulk! This certified organic English heirloom variety was produced in Ojai, California. We’ve previously offered this variety in packet form but this year

Fava Beans - also referred to as bell beans, broad beans, faba bean, field-bean, horse bean, horsebean, tick-bean, and Windsor bean - were cultivated and consumed up to 11,000 years ago, and domesticated in the Middle East. Favas can be grown either as a cool or warm season cover crop depending on location. They are grown as a winter annual in warm temperate and subtropical areas, and as a warm season crop in cooler areas. Favas can be grown as a cover crop or food crop - both at the same time. As a cover crop, favas provide biomass, nitrogen fixation, modest weed suppression, an upright growth habit, and a strong tap root that reduces soil erosion. Favas are also a good pollinator plant for beneficial insects such as bumblebees, European honeybees (Apis mellifera), and other species of native bees. The flowers are very fragrant.

The pods (ideally young), beans - both fresh and dried, and shoots of the plant are edible.

Did you know that Broad beans "Fava beans" are one of the world’s most powerful nitrogen fixers?🤔 Once the plants flower and produced beans, broad bean plants fix nitrogen on their roots for the benefit of themselves. First nitrogen goes into pod production, then the plant releases nitrogen into the soil as it dies back. This process naturally enriches the soil, and provide food and energy for the next crop of plants. Not only broad beans enrich the soil, they also eliminate the need for artificial fertilisers, making them a hugely sustainable crop to grow!

Fava Bean Puree

Ingredients

2 cups shelled Fava beans

2-3 garlic cloves, finely minced

2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

1 tablespoon Eureka lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan or Grana Padana cheese to garnish

½ cup extra virgin olive oil (try it with our Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Process

In a saucepan combine the fava beans and enough water to just cover the beans

Bring to a boil and cook until the beans are tender and the cover splits (about 5-7 minutes)

Rinse under cool water so you can handle the beans

Slip off the “cover” of the bean

Sauté the garlic and parsley for 2-3 minutes in the olive oil

Add the beans and the garlic mixture to a food processor and puree

Add salt and pepper to taste

Stir in the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning to your taste

Spread on grilled crusty bread with extra oil for dressing. Garnish with the grated cheese.
