Having never eaten, let alone grown Fava beans before, is it too late in the season to direct sow them?  Everything I've read says they are cool season crops, & I didn't have my garden prepped in time.  Might have to save them for next year.

They usually go in the same time as peas, oats, or flax.

If you have a local seed company, they probably have a table of suggested planting times for some of the more usual crops.
