Favas are available reletively early in the growing season. They , unlike 
phaseolus are not mush harmed by  cold, wet ground and enjoy best growth  in 
cool weather. They are planted in most zones as soon as the ground can be 
worked. Assuming that is  mid-March to the first week of April expect them to 
be available around mid-June or so. They can (and often are) also be grown as 
a fall crop.
