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

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

Ended up with six liters (~ 9 1/4 lbs) of fava beans today. That's not counting what is still left to be harvested. Looking forward to purées, soups, and more. Some interesting ideas here: https://www.foodandwine.com/chefs/how-to-cook-fava-beans
