After two years of getting to know this beauty, she is now in the seed catalog! Purple Hyacinth Bean Tall, twining, purple vines cover any trellis or fence with beautiful dark foliage and abundant bright purple pods. Lablab, or Hyacinth Bean, is widely eaten in parts of South and Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. The young pods are boiled and added to curries, sometimes the immature fresh seeds are boiled or roasted, the dried beans can be processed like tofu or sprouted like mung beans, and the leaves and flowers eaten like spinach. The flowers are a beautiful edible addition to salads and desserts and florists love their pink flower clusters and pods on long slender stems. The fresh or dried seeds eaten in large quantities can be toxic if not prepared correctly (double-cooked with two changes of water). This versatile, drought-tolerant, soil-building species has a center of diversity in much of tropical Africa. Our coworker Amirah Mitchell of Sistah Seeds found it listed in the Lost Crops of Africa (to whom we owe thanks for much of this information), and so she began stewarding this beauty at our farm as part of her work to keep the seeds of the African Diaspora. #seedkeeping #hyacinthbean #lablab @sistahseeds #purplehyacinth https://www.instagram.com/seedkeeping/p/CYaImNCL6Jl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Squash blossoms (these are luffa aegyptiaca, I think) and hyacinth beans (lablab purpureus), both great choices for an apocalypse garden: easy to grow, vigorous once established, at least some part of the plant is edible if harvested and prepared correctly, gorgeous flowers, and beloved by pollinators. Neither are native but they both do well here on the Gulf Coast. Spiritually, squash blossoms are associated with fertility while lablab beans are associated with *avoiding* pregnancy. I haven't done much research on this yet, but let me know if you know of any i should look at! (Squash blossoms are also considered protective against the evil eye and evil spirits.) #luffa #hyacinthbean #lablabpurpureus #luffaaegyptiaca #squashblossom #gulfcoastgardening #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #bigluckyhoodoo https://www.instagram.com/p/CkI4W2dLfxE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
