A row of favas I planted earlier this spring has developed the lovely
flowers I enjoy, but when those flowers drop off, there's no emergent
bean pod ... something I've not seen before. These seeds were planted
in a newish bed that was filled primarily with a decent-quality
commercial compost mixture ... the original clay soil having been
carted away by our landscaper. Other crops did okay in that bad in year
one, especially carrots and lettuces. But something there is that the
favas don't seem to like.
