I grew the Fava Beans mainly for next years seeds. I only planted 15 plants and had several meals of fresh Faba beans. Most the plants were dry so I pulled them all out and harvested the dried seeds and left the rest to dry in the barn. I was amazed that I got over 500 bean seeds from those few plants and have more pods drying in the barn. No I didn't count them but I did count one small bowl full and then counted how many bowls went into the Jar.
I also pulled out a few of the elephant garlic plants to test them to see if it is time to harvest. They looked good with only a few outside skins left on them so I'll pull the rest next time I get a chance.
I finished the starting irrigation lines on the Giant Pumpkins and too a picture to keep track of their growth.
The stem of the plant on the left is right at 2" in diameter at the ground. Hoping for a 500 lb. Pumpkin or more this year.
