fava beans +

-- [ From: nonayobusiness * EMC.Ver #2.3 ] --

I wonder why everybody  wants to turn under fava beans?  I love to eat
them!  The big  giant ones are really good!     Another green manure crop
I've been wondering about is buckwheat.  This is such a good thing to eat! 
Has anybody here ever tried growing  it and harvesting the grain?  (It has
gotten really expensive in the supermarket  -  right now you have to pay
$2.29 for a measly little 10 ounce box!)

	Another question:  where we live, we are plagued by  voracious woodchucks.
My veg garden is fenced in with a sunken  fence that keeps most of them
out.  We relocate a bunch each year.  I was wondering, with our limited
protected area, if there were any plants that I could put outside, that
these unpleasant little creatures would shun because of the taste,  such as
herbs like tarragon, oregano, and basil, and hot peppers  ( I'm considering
getting Pinetree's hot pepper mix, but wouldn't have enough room in the
fenced part to grow a lot of them).  LaurenB.  Z.6 NY
