"No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden...But though an old man, I am but a young gardener."

Yes, it worth it just for the flowers! And I don't photograph red/pink very well so they're even prettier than this.

they are so wonderful! I've been swapping them and sending them everywhere! Sure to make a comeback they are so beautiful!

Beautiful, the red looks good to me! I saved these from seed from Matron, been on quite a trip :-)

Wow! Thanks for sharing these beautiful plants Matron and Dan! I'll have to save some to share myself.

Just ate our first picking last night (6/7). It is amazing how quickly they go from flower to edible. Baby favas have quickly become as eagerly awaited as asparagus for me.

How do you prepare baby favas? I will have them coming soon too!
