RE: cool season
I read that favas stop setting/flowering when temps get above 80.
I think it might have been a little ambitious of me to try to grow them here. The change in seasons is usually pretty abrupt. Temps are hitting 80 later this week, actually, with possible highs near 90 over the weekend. Although temps go back down to the high 60s after the weekend.
Maybe the mini heat wave this weekend will be good to speed up vegetative growth, and by the time flowers happen, temps will be OK for setting pods.
If no luck this year, I'll try one more time by fall planting and letting them overwinter under mulch to see whether they get going sooner that way.
