Today we pulled up all the Fava Bean plants and brought in the beans. We have had a much better harvest then in previous years. The Fava plants will be going into the compost pile.
Fava beans are very large pods. The pods have to be shelled and the number of beans that you get are much less.We all worked together to shell the pods and collect the beans.
More than half the weight of the beans was the pods and even with these the Farmer's Family will have to blanch these and take off the outer shell. The Farmer plans a special meal with these Fava Beans for supper tomorrow night.
Also the Fennel plants are ready. The first was harvested yesterday and then another was harvested today for the New Farmer. If you are not familiar with fennel it has a licorice or anise flavor.
The Farmer made a delicious salad with fennel, sugar snaps and these great carrots form the garden and the bac choi. 
Here is the salad and here is some nabeathean scallions.
I have a lot of weight to add this week. 10.060 KG of produce to add this week for total of 34.814 KG which is 76.60 lbs.
