Grow The Popular Broad Windsor Fava Beans
Discover the beloved Fava Bean Broad Windsor, a variety highly popular in European gardens and known for its exceptional flavor. Maturing in approximately 80 days, Broad Windsor produces some of the tastiest dried beans available, and they are remarkably large, often reaching the size of a quarter!
When harvested at the shelling stage, you’ll appreciate their mild flavor, which makes them a versatile ingredient that pairs beautifully with a wide array of spices and herbs. Notably, these beans are also excellent for making delicious homemade falafels. The sturdy bush plants grow to a height of around 4 feet, yield 4 to 5-inch pods, and exhibit reliable hardiness down to 12°F. The seeds are a distinctive buff color, with approximately 15 seeds per ounce.
This variety thrives in cool weather and can be fall-sown in zones 6 and above for an early harvest.
For successful cultivation, sow seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and 3-6 inches apart in rows spaced 12-30 inches apart. Fava beans prefer cool weather and well-drained soil. While generally sturdy, taller plants may benefit from some support.
Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development. Harvest plump pods for shelling beans or allow them to mature fully on the plant for drying. Enjoy the exceptional flavor and versatility of this European favorite!
