Kacang Botol @ Winged Beans

Winged beans also known as Goa beans or Asparagus beans. In Malay we call it Kacang Botol. "Botol" is Bottle in English. Direct translation will be Bottle beans. I do not know why we call it in such a name in Malay. May be because of the shape....


This plant love hot and humid environment and it's really suitable to be planted in here!



When i first planted winged beans, the bed was empty but now Balsam have taken over most of the place. Invasive but i like Balsam too! My winged beans don't have a proper trellis so i just let it climb on the recycle laundry stack and the corn stalk. Once it's long enough i will let it climb on the gate near by.

  1. Using recyclable items is definitely the way go! Good idea. Hope you will see lots of beans at the gate later ;-)
