#heirloomfavas

Crimson Flowered Fava is an English heirloom broad bean that was first documented in 1778 and then saved from near extinction exactly 200 years later when Rhoda Catbush shared her last four seeds with the Henry Doubleday Research Association and eventually a fleet of volunteer growers. Crossing fingers we will have enough seed harvest this year to share through Truelove Seeds! #crimsonflowered #crimsonfloweredbroadbean #crimsonfloweringbroadbeans #crimsonfloweringfava #heirloomfavas #viciafaba #seedkeeping https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx0wKCQFiTQ/?igshid=eq2r6luv34em
