Do you cover your fava plants in order to save seeds from a plant and prevent cross polination? I wonder how to do it, maybe a simple mosquito mesh would do.. I had some fava beans "Ianto's return" this year, this was a mix, and I had not cover plants:/ Now I've collected seeds and each plant had different ones. I really regret not covering them, because I would like to work on some of it as "lines", and I don't know if they are crossed:/

I have 2 other plants ..latest ones.Oone have light lavender beans, and the second produced only 1 bean, still not ready to pick.
