ivy young

Hi there!  I’m curious about how long you waited before cutting the bolls  and bringing them in to dry. It looks like you’re bringing them in when they’re still green. We’re about to get wet weather and I’m worried about the bolls rotting on the plant. Was thinking about cutting them and hanging them to dry inside. Do you think it will work? Bolls are mature and firm but don’t crack when squeezed

Thanks Alder. I suppose that makes sense. At about 3 weeks it is as tall and vigorous as its neighbors but I will keep watching and see what happens. Thanks!

I recently planted fava beans as a cover crop. The seed was purchased from the bulk bins at a natural foods store but I do not believe it is organic. Anyway, one of the plants emerged yellowish white. I don't mean spotted or that the leaves started turning yellow after a while, but truly the whole plant is yellow/white. Has anyone heard of/ experienced this. I can not find any info on the web. Just curious. Maybe I'll save the seed instead of digging it in. Thanks.
