      Great

      I absolutely love these seeds. Great germination, and they have been able to handle temperatures in the 20s without protection. I cannot wait to see how they taste.

      winter beans

      I iive in an area near the verde river at about 3,300 ft in elevation in arizona. I brought in lots of leaves, manure, wood chips and composted, for the past eight years or so. People say the soils here are contaminated by the copper mining etc so i have been trying to get as much turnover in the soil as possible with cover crops, etc. the fava beans were sown about a month ago and all germinated nicely . they have grown somewhat horizontally but seem healthy. it is a bit shades where they are. i expect them to slow down for over the winter when the ground freezes a bit. i like fava beans a lot and am looking forward for these.

      Gorgeous, Delicious Favas

      I know this variety from previous experience. They are the most flavorful and beautiful favas on the planet and Native-Seeds-Search is the only company that sells them. Looking forward to my winter harvest. Thank you!
