Well, we have made it thru January ...hope the worst of the weather is over, but somehow I doubt it. The greenhouse have fava beans in different plantings and stages of growth. The younger of them are not being hit as hard as the older taller ones...perhaps because they are closer to the ground??? The last planting are just now popping thru the ground. It is as cold in there as outside during the nite and warms up considerably if the sun shines. I am still doing well on the fava tops tincture.after 4 yrs and 3 months)..though requiring more of it in this cold weather (also am getting less exercise...which I think is a factor)
