That bean your frieind picked was about 5" long! I was there - remember? lol I am telling you reading this, Aunt Bean has a green thumb (two of them!). It has been dry as a bone here. and is she organized ? She has her various vegetables plotted out on a map and the view is absolutely stunning at her farm. She will most likely have a huge harvest of fava beans - you should see all of the blossoms. (I think she must be sneaking fertilizer on that garden - lol I'm kidding, but it is good soil. Most soil here is more like a mix of Georgia clay, but where she lives is rich looking. (It was probably a former cow pasture - that helps.

At any rate, I hope to help you, Aunt Bean, to get someone to seriously look at the research you have been doing (living research). But first, let's get those beans!
