Hyacinth Bean (Dolichos lablab)

[injunjoe]

Not so sure this the right place to post this but here we go.

My dear friend Broke Down Ranch sent me these seeds a little bit ago.

I have sown five seeds to test them and so far I have two of five sprouted.

Here is a pic or two. They have a lot of color right from the start, I can't wait for a full crop of these going.

Thank you BDR

Yay! Pics! You know what I find ironic - Ron sent me a few hyacinth bean seeds with my first box of goodies

I can't wait to see these as they get bigger! I have the perfect spot for mine but have never gotten around to cleaning that area up and planting...

We have them growing wild aound our fence line. I help them along a bit. Are the beans edible?

Schroeder welcome to TEG!

Wow what a great picture!
I don't know if we can eat them or not. But they sure are pretty!

Here is your answer:

Floridata is a very Reputable source! ( I say this because there is a lot of confusion because of the word Hyacinth..., it is Bean not Bulb) thus so many bad misnomers on it being entirely poisonous.
