Betty's Homegrown Fava Beans

Albert planed these beautiful green plants in the late fall and they are thriving during the rainy winter and early spring.

These are fava bean plants.  They are annual.

In May, the pods with beans inside are maturing.

The pods are not for consumption, they are picked at prime to get the beans out.

Slice the pods with a knife and get the beans out.

These are the matured beans.

A bit of oil, a bit of salt and a bit of water, here is a delicious veggie dish.
