  1. 🫛 The Slow Two Weeks: on podding peas and the older life of the broad bean

    There are two broad beans. The fresh one is a two-week luxury, eaten raw with pecorino and red wine. The dried one is ful medames — feeding the eastern Mediterranean for 6,000 years.

    Same species. Almost no shared imaginative space.

    Eat them now. Pod them slowly.

  3. Plant broad beans (fava beans) 2in deep, 8in apart in rows 18in apart. Use stakes for support. Keep soil moist, protect from frost, and consider companion planting with dill or marigold to deter pests. Pinch out tops after first pods form to fight blackfly. #Gardening #BroadBeans

  7. When I was young I didn't really like #BroadBeans they seemed to have a rather unpleasant aftertaste apart from their skins being tough. Now I #growmyown, Super Aquadulce and they are perfect - can't get enough of them. Is it me that's changed or did we grow awful varieties 40 years ago? #allotment #growyourown

  9. Broad beans are a powerhouse in the garden! Not only do they produce a bountiful crop, they're nitrogen fixers, enriching the soil for future plants. Plus, they're packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins. A true superfood! #BroadBeans #GardenMagic #HealthyHarvest

  11. 🌱 Spring (Feb to Apr) is the perfect time for planting broad beans! Start them off in pots or sow directly into well-drained soil, in a sunny spot. Space them 8 inches apart & support with stakes. Water regularly & wait for the magic to happen. #GardeningTips #BroadBeans 🌿

  16. Small ant visiting an extra-floral nectary on the underside of a fava bean stipule. Some people are alarmed by the presence of ants on their fava beans but that's only warranted if ants are farming aphids in large numbers. The nectaries also attract lady beetles and parasitic wasps, especially early in the season when flowers are scarce. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #ViciaFaba #legumes #nectar #nectaries #garden #ants #botany #insects

  18. Today in gardening news, I got a bulk bag of leaves for mulch. I bagged up some of the old leaf mould and planted broad beans. I found a shabby/apocalyptic chic petroleum memorabilia sign under the old leaf pile. #broadbeans #petroliana #leafmould

  19. Here's what I made with my first harvest of fava beans. Puréed them with ricotta, mint, basil, garlic, shallots, cream, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Then spread onto oiled, grilled baguette slices with prosciutto, parmesan, whole fava beans, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #food #cooking

  21. Fava bean season has begun! Am thinking of putting them on toast along with ricotta and mint. But am open to suggestions. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #allotment #garden #gardening #vegetables #cooking

  23. Fava bean season is not too far away and I can't wait. Sowed seeds on November 17th, then another batch went in around February. Of 57 seeds I've only lost one, so it's going to be a big harvest. #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #ViciaFaba #legume #garden #vegetable #allotment

  25. In allotment news, I planted about 50 'Lancelot' leeks in between plants in my row of fava beans. I'm sure they'd prefer their own space but my garden is at capacity already. Fingers crossed that they get along. #leeks #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #allotment #garden #gardening #vegetables

  30. CW: Food

    Yes indeed! And it tastes as good as what I’ve had on the street in Thailand. I will definitely make this again

    Fava beans this way are what I learned in Japan.
