Cluster Beans from my kitchen garden


Cluster Beans flowers

I just want to share my excitement of harvesting my cluster beans from my kitchen garden. Cluster beans which we call gavar in Marathi is used for making guar gum in the United States.

I noticed that no bugs ate this plant of mine - may be because it was too exotic for the American bugs?

Since the stems of the plant resemble the cluster beans, you may miss picking some beans during harvesting. I got a big harvest of cluster beans this year. :-D

Lovely, Meera. I had thrown some sprouted mung beans and I completely forgot about it. We found plants that had bean pods like long beans but only shorter. I opened one and was estatic to find green mung beans. I share your love of gardening, Meera.. gives me so much happiness.
