We enjoy the beans from tender to tough. Please don't worry too much about the ripeness of it. Before you turn it into a tomato field, you still have a lot of the fava beans for the table. I'm not sure whether you planted is the ground cover fave or the edible fava. If it's the former, the beans will be much smaller. But the taste is same delicious. I learned from you started taking the leaves for green. Brilliant idea! Never thought about it. What a waste! Fava beans are flexible. We enjoy the beans from tender to tough.

Now, we have so many fava bean plants 5 foot tall, with beautiful leaves we use for salads and stir fry and the beans are just getting close to harvest stage. However, we need the ground in a few weeks for tomato seedings. We hate to cut them down, but our space is limited and need the room for summer tomato. So sad.
