Full of Beans

It's Spring and my attentions have turned to gardening. Am I allowed to write about gardening on my crafting blog? I think so. It feeds the same part of my brain and soul. I planted some fava beans this fall that survived the Winter and are flowering now. Nerdy facts alert! Nerdy facts alert! Fava beans are also known as broad beans, horse beans, windsor beans, and pigeon beans and they are one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. Fava beans are legumes and cousins to peas. They help to fix the nitrogen in my garden soil. I am excited to eat them when they are ready!
