Winged beans are balancing ...

The plants are really something ... the way they branch out, with no climbing agility yet... they are balancing themselves, against April wind.... I did a quick frame, so simple that it is laughable ... they are my ever ready, multi purpose and reusable bamboo .... These bamboos has been with us for more than a year....... Some are big, so we split them into halves...

We call it as three legged winged beans climbing frame! ... I guess it wont be long before the plants climb up and cling to the awkward looking frame...

These winged beans or kacang botol / kacang kelisa in Bahasa Malaysia, are tough plants. The bloom rather late, but once they are ready it is like a basketful daily harvest! ... That was the experience having 5 winged beans plants last year..

bamboo frame
The three legged climbing frame for winged beans,
fixed to the ground and
tied up in the middle with wire.
We will allow two plants with this frame.
.... More plants will make the frame dense,
bushy and heavy!
