GREEN BEAN : FIRST HARVEST

Buncis or green bean is a lovely plant.
It grows so fast and produce fresh crunchy bean since the sixth weeks after sowing.
Look mine...


I'm growing green beans on the little patch on my raised bed.


Yesterday, my husband harvested a handful of green beans for the first time this season.
They were still young, sweet and crunchy.
Great to be eaten raw...


Lots of white flowers are hanging on the vines.


The little beans are hanging here and there.


So, I can pick the beans almost every day next.
Thanks GOD...


Reader, Are you growing green bean this season?

  1. Most people where I live cook green beans for a long time but I like them stir fried a little which brings out the flavor and they are still crunchy. We have mostly bush varieties but I do have some pole beans that are probably getting close to having beans. We have a lot of them so we let them mature and the actual bean can be shelled out and used during the winter. I don't see insects on your plants, we have a lot of beetles that attack ours.

    1. Yes, I like stir fried green bean like yours. The taste is much better than cook it for a long time. This patch is seem healthy, but lots of grasshoppers that attack my amaranth and mustard patch. I found some beetles on my eggplant.

    1. Actually, I prefer to grow the dwarf variety, cause it doesn't need stake or pole. but it's not easy to find that variety.

  3. I didn't grow green beans this year, I grew wax beans(same thing only bushy). I didn't manage to find a right size net for this year so I just gave up sowing them.
