Hi, Folks!

 

I’ve had several requests for fava beans for the Spring.  I’ve grown them before and they seem to do well here.

 

In the past, I’ve fenced the favas, but I’m getting conflicting information on whether or not deer will eat them

 

Anyone have any experience with deer eating or avoiding favas?

 

My gut says a deer will eat almost anything if it’s hungry enough, but alliums and larkspur are let alone, so figured I’d ask.

 

Thanks for the input!

Dorene
