Winged beans (Psophocarpus tetra-gonolobus)
First photo: I forgot to take a photo of the plant before picking. Second photo: the harvest of just a few plants.
Here is why you should consider loving winged beans.
- Fire ants don't appear to like them; however they are all over my yard long beans.
- Disease-free. I have -yet- to have had any disease overtake my winged bean plants.
- The entire plant is edible, however we only eat the beans.
- Short days of South Florida fall, winter, and spring are when winged beans grow best.
- As with all legumes, winged beans fix nitrogen into the soil.
