long beans - a new try

I only planted long beans once in my garden. Mainly as I know i would not be able to harvest the beans.

However i could not resist and finally i give a try. I'm not sure if the monkeys will spare some for me but hope they consider me!

Little long beans learning to climb trellis. There are 3 seedlings in a row. Sharing the area with indian broad beans, lemongrass and pak choi. 

kacang Panjang @ long beans

Kacang Panjang or long beans have a sad ending in my garden twice. The vines grow so huge with big leaves but not even a single long beans! They grow so lush and grean. Very healthy looking plant indeed!

May be i over fertilize them. My neighbour told may be this is "pokok jantan" ...... This time i'm growing them at different place. Together with the Mint . Let's see if they bear me some beans....!



many art work by catterpillars and grasshoppers!

Something is muching my long beans leaves! i guess it's grasshopper! I saw some ladybird too! Is ladybird good for my veg???

I think i have to come back early from work to inspect who is the real culprit!
