On August, my neighbor shared me some bean seeds.
Then I sowed them soon.
These are a kind of kara Sumatera or kara krupuk (Phaseolus lunatus).
Actually, I have similar kara like this, but it may the variety is different.
This variety has slimmer leaves.
You can check my first variety here.
This was the kara row on the late of August, about ten days after sowed.
And here the vine today.
Climbing on the wall and also citrus twigs.
Looks so plain, but when we notice, we will find lots of beans are hanging on the vine.
Hmmm... so lovely...
They are curly bean like as the first variety that I have.
Some flowers are produced on the leaf axils.
I love it...
Pertama kali tengok kacang kara keringting..
ReplyDeleteDi kampung- kampung masih banyak yang tanam kacang macam ini, Kak Mala.
DeleteHey Endah, can be eaten already? Lovely vine. I have seen people growing the vine here but not sure which variety. I think the flower was pink and white.
ReplyDeleteYes. I think the bean that you have seen is kara uceng or Hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus). They have pink and white flowers.
DeleteWow! kara uceng... ok. Thank you :-D
DeleteLooks like it is doing very well!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa!
DeleteThose beans are a very strange shape. Are they always curly?
ReplyDeleteYes, they are always curly, Sue.
