Germinated Favas Beans for Cover Crop

“I want to plant small fava beans as a green manure crop this spring. I am between Olympia and Aberdeen. Can anyone suggest a source of seed beans in the area, or a good online source? Thanks for your help.

Timothy, my favorite Washington-local seed source is Irish Eyes Garden Seeds. They offer a wide variety of green manures or cover crops here. And, if you don’t see the exact one you want, try giving them a call. I’ve found that they sometimes have other options not shown online.

Thanks for writing in and keep having fun in the garden!
