Marshall Chrostowski's Fava Bean Grow Out Is Complete!

An update on the fava bean grow out we initiated last November. Brief recapitulation: we were bequeathed the fava bean collection from the late Marshall Chrostowski, and planted all 14 accessions given to us. Nine of the 14 produced from his collection. We had a bit of extra bed space after planting Marshall's varieties so dug a two more favas from our planting stock library: Chocolate from Mano Farm and Midnight Black from Siskiyou Seeds; the former which failed and the latter produced. Scott reported that deer rolled through and ate the fully ripened beans so we definitely had some crop loss. Quick action by Roberto, who covered the entire run of beds with plastic netting, allowed us to minimize our losses.

Final accounting: 16 lots planted, 10 lots harvested.

Field / Forage Peas are a nitrogen fixing cover crop ideal for tilling into the soil when flowering. This variety is high biomass yielding, with an indeterminate growth habit. Can be interplanted with a grain crop such as oat to help peas vine vertically. Seeds are certified organic.
