Thanks for the visits and nice comments...<br /><br />Winged beans has almost round seeds and fairly large, much bigger than ground nuts. The shells are tough. No wonder they are prolific in reseedings.<br /><br />We already have one three legged trellis, standing, supporting 5 plants, enough for our consumption and the neighbours too.<br /><br />This particular plant is not in a suitable spot to have trellis on. It will block view and air circulation... thus it has to stay down, conforming to the intended veggie-landscape of the area.<br /><br />In a way, it sounds a little bit cruel clipping shoots going out of the way. A softer term is to make it behave well. At the end it's just an effort to keep it in shape... more presentable!!<br /><br />But it blooms..., thank you.<br /><br />Furthermore Kakdah isn't too keen having more than one trellis at a time. We really need adequate space to move around, to sit back and appreciate....<br /><br />I don't wish to say this as a battle against winged beans, but more of a compromise achieved out of negotiation..what's best to both parties ... haha.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />~bangchik<br />Putrajaya, Malaysia.Bangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-72003262330524720902009-09-29T11:23:40.719+08:002009-09-29T11:23:40.719+08:00People don't often talk about the battle of wi...People don't often talk about the battle of wills between a gardener and a plant.
