i'm addicted to beans of any type it seems, but
i haven't tried growing fava beans here yet.

I've tried growing them in the past, but the window of opportunity
between 'soil workable' and hotter weather than they like is a problem
(worse than ever, these last few years).

They are very prone to attracting an explosion of big, black aphids, too.
