Fava bean dreaming

Can’t wait for the favas to start producing. They are in full flower and I expect to see some of the little fruit soon. Though I am worried, too, because last year there were so many more bees around. Not just my honeybees, the noble and bumbling Bombus hasn’t been spotted either. And he loves the fava flowers. I do, too, I throw them in salads. With a little wild rocket, shredded beets, shredded carrots–there’s nothing finer.
