Anticipating a long spring, which we got, I planted the fava beans in March. They are supposed to like cool weather but sure didn’t want to ripen until it got HOT. I will have to try sowing them in the fall and see how they respond to that. After processing them this morning, I decided next time to harvest just the massive pods and leave the plants alive longer for the younger pods to mature. I could’ve kept harvesting them through August. I compare the growth to bush and pole beans. Just slight elevation differences on my property result in quite varying ripening times for my crops. I bet the elevated hugelkultur squash won’t ripen due to a combination of low fertility and even shorter season up there. The dwarf everbearing mulberry trees were from Baker Creek.

Hey thanks for another awesome transmission! I'm happy your cultures are doing so well! I could literally feel the energy coming off those fava beans lol
Also my celeriac that did the same thing this year I wonder what causes that. I was so confused, thinking did I plant this?
But, some of our cultures are flowering accordingly, that being squash, cucumber, romano tomatoes, strawberries and blueberries. I'm currently looking forward to the redscarlet/contender beans, cantaloupe, and raspberries!
Hey. Found your channel. Health started failing in 2016. Was bed ridden by June of this year. Got on all beef diet June 21st. and my health has completely turned around. About 21 good days out of 30. I am healthy if I can make it into the mountains and if I take my feet off and let them touch the grass. It gets crazier. I want to homestead land now and eat whole foods. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. But I feel it calling me. Something brought me here. Blessings to you all ❤️
