KARA BENGUK : CLOSER...

Our kara benguk or velvet bean is better right now.
After I did pruning to reduce the bountiful leaves, now we can find lots of flower bunches and also the unique beans.

The beautiful flowers are dangling in a very awesome color.
So interesting...

Look... the unique beans...

It's really suitable to the name 'velvet bean'.

Black velvet skin...

I don't know when should I harvest these beans.
I should learn more about its growth.

Actually there are some bean under the wide leaves, now they all already 'visible', not hidden anymore.
Thanks GOD for this interesting experience.

NEW COMER BEAN : KARA BENGUK

This is the new comer in our home garden this season Kara Benguk  or Velvet Bean (Mucuna pruriens).

I got the seeds from the seed community that following the River Congress on August.

There are three varieties of this bean that I grow

You can check the seeds here.

I sowed the seeds on my tiny garden for trial.

Most of them grow so well.

But all of them are climbers.

So they are really taking space in our garden.

One of seven varieties that I've grown, looks grow so lush.

It's making my grey wall turns green and so 'thick', so dense.

The leaves are so thrive, so green...

Look... this is my green wall!

It makes the bitter gourd vines are growing so poor.
So wildly...

Hey... look...!

I'm finding a bunch of flowers!

The color is cute....

I'm finding the young beans too...
The color and the shape are unusual.

I think, I should remove some of the leaves to stimulate the vine on producing both of flower and beans.
Thanks GOD for the blessing...

CRAZY VINES

This is still the beginning of the rainy season, but our garden looks so messy.
Lots of weeds that grow so rapidly.
And also some vines that's growing like crazy on our backyard.
Growing so fast, climbing here and there.
Dangling...
Capturing anything to hold on...
Like as a mini jungle!
Lots of climbers here.
Some variety of beans, squashes, chayotes, bitter gourd, cucumber and sirih (Piper betel), all grows so thrive.
Lets tidy up...
