I really don't know of a source for fresh..they are seasonal vegies..canned ones are about it/ or cooking the dry beans.

Just got a call from dad and it has rained since I left home this morning.....some of it very hard . He watched another muddy river flowing down in front of our house..Since the first planting of favas made it thru the last time...I'm hoping their roots have gone deeper yet so we won't have to worry about too much rain. The new beans I planted in raised rows & hopefully they will be ok. There is more rain on the way! It's so hard to be away from home for 2 days while working and there is so much to do. I hope I can put a picture of the farm on the sight soon. Dad made the mistake of getting a CD along with our last pictures we had developed. Someone told me that you look at it on computor...so maybe someone can put a picture on this sight for me so you all can see what the farm looks like.
