Steal a march on broad beans

Fiann Ó Nualláin likes to sow fava seeds early to boost his harvest and his health

This weekend I am sowing some broad beans (Vicia faba) aka fava beans, I want to steal a march on getting them going now so that they will ‘overwinter’ in the green but come spring bounce with vigour into renewed growth and deliver me an earlier harvest than those that I will also sow come February/March.
