Fava beans

My Fava beans are heaving with semi ready pods.  I could not wait anymore and shelled a few today.  Boiled them rapidly for 1 min in extra salty water, plunged them into iced water and took off the inner second shell.  The remaining  spring green bean is delectable. A sweet and smokey complex flavour.  The flowers smell great and the finished plant is a great source of nitrogen when added to the compost pile or dug into the soil directly.  Fava's rule.
