fleece lined sweatshirts

Harvested the first round of fava beans from the community garden. I hadn't been around for a few weeks, so was quite surprised to see they'd shot up to taller than 6 ft, and that fabulous 6-8 inch long pods were abundant.

Each pod holds 3-6 beans, ranging in size from large peas to the standard full 1-inch long favas. What surprised me most was the interior lining of the pods - they were like fleece-lined sweatshirts! Someone oughta look into fava pods as an eco-insulation material - these were at least an R-12!
