I grew favas for the first time this year -- neat white flowers with an extra set of black pedals. Tried the first of the pods today (raw) -- they are as big as my hand but still growing. I have 3 favas and 3 snow peas in the same pot with a tomato cage for the peas to climb. Worked pretty well and kept the fava from sprawling and breaking.
