Hello Hive
Here is our short life span beans that is gradually getting riped now. After getting matured. Ripening is when the beans pods turn brown and eventually dries up. The grains can then be harvested and stored up to be eaten on a latter day.
When beans pods are still very much green they can be harvested and eating as green beans, for this type both the beans and the pods are eating together but when they are getting ripened and matured they become harder and no longer soft to be eating along with the pods.The pods are no longer edible by then and we have to process the beans to get them out of the pods before the staple plant can be eating.
For now there is nothing much we can do for this beans rather than monitoring it and be on the lookout for any insect invasion or some pesticide attack.
Once the beans pods starts to wrinkle like this or some parts of the pods getting chop off, it shows that insects are feeding in it already. They borrow holes into the pods or chop them off. We found only a few of this throughout the farm which is no cause for alarm. It is not possible to completely grow your crops without having some insects around, the only disturbing parts is when the insects comes in large number to invade the plants. Those types are often a drastic attacks where both the plants and it's leaves gets affected at the same time
It is a good thing that none of our beans crops has experienced any setback compared to the rice and corn that suffered a bit of a drought. We have planted two specie of beans this year and this particular one is the short life cycle beans that spend only about 2months to give us some food.
Our other beans in a different location takes about 2-3months for its own growth, it's development has been slower and because the farm is also located in a distance place we having paid the beans any visit yet.
It is a good thing that the ridges constructed for planting this beans is really high up above as the rains have been very much frequent and we have water flowing in along every location of our farms. The ground has taking so much water already and most of the waters are now located at the surface.
Making any ridges lower than this will have caused the surface water to affect the plants as beans do not appreciate excess water like rice.
Your beans are growing beautifully. It's amazing to see how nature takes its course and how patience and care truly pay off in farming. 👌👌
Exactly dear, thank you so much
Sending you Ecency love
I'm just happy for your beans that had beared fruits, I don't know why my own creeped all over the places but never beared fruits like these your own, how did you achieve this?.
