Broad Windsor Fava Bean (Bush)
Great product, good germination
I always get good seeds at a great price from MIgardener. Thank You
Planted these seeds a few weeks ago into my Greenstalk, and they are healthy & look beautiful! 100% germination rate
Seeds came in beginning of January got them in the ground right away after a soak and inoculation with rhizobia. Just starting on my second year of growing in zone 9b in heavy clay, so I was looking for a winter crop to get roots in the soil. Seeds germinated in approximately 2 weeks and are growing quickly. Not sure if I will use them as a true cover crop and drop them before bean production. Have not grown this variety before but have grown Robin Hood variety in the past and the beans were tender and delicious perfect for stir fry or salads. If you let the pod mature you have to shell the beans before eating. The outside is way too tough if not. Warm regards everyone!

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
