Fava beans (with a little kee-ant-tee)

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I had a wonderful afternoon with my Sis wandering around Soho, dining on
dim sum on Mott street and walking up to Hester into little Italy where
we entered a beautiful old deli, it was like walking into another era.
There were bins and bins of the most fabulous dried beans, one of the
bins was filled with beans larger than limas, almost the size of a
quarter, and with a dark stripe running along the edge. I bought a
quarter pound of them for 65¢. The man at the counter said that they
were fava beans, which I have never seen before. 

They look "viable" and so I will give them a try in my garden. What I
need to know is are they are vine beans or bush beans, I imagine that
they have the same growth requirements as regular beans. Does anyone
have experience with these beans, they certainly will make a delicious
meal cooked fresh if I can grow them.

TIA,

Trudi
