80 days. Cool-weather substitute for lima beans in the North. Sow as soon as soil can be worked, as they don’t do well in heat. The traditional English variety, with 6 to 7-in., shiny green pods containing 3 to 6 very large, light-green beans used like limas. Nice sweet flavor like a pea. Pick at 2 to 3-in. to use as snap beans or pick when mature as shell beans. Buff-colored seeds. Bush, but may require support.

Bumper crop

I seeded 300 seeds this past spring (yes, I counted). All of the seeds germinated with at least three stalks each. I picked beautiful beans that produced 43 pounds shelled.
The plants were about three feet tall, seeded about 1” apart. We have high winds regularly (40-70mph) so I seed all my vegetables closer than most gardeners so the plants can support themselves and less staking. This was the best fava crop I’ve had in 15 years. Wish I could post pics, the plants were beautiful.
