SELF SOWN GUDE AKA PIGEON PEA

This raised bed is full of self sown seedlings.
We can find so many vegetables here.
There are four varieties of amaranths, chili pepper, tomato, passion fruit, pigeon pea and also edible weeds.
They grow so lush like weed.


Almost everyday I do thinning the amaranths and then cook it, that's better than wasted I think.
The most interesting is pigeon pea, cause I haven't had pigeon pea seed anymore for the next growing season.


Aha... I'm finding two pigeon pea seedlings here.
Looks so healthy...
I think I should move the seedling on to suitable place, cause they will grow bigger like as little tree.
If I let them grow here, they will take over this patch, I mean they will make shade on this raised bed.


Actually, too much shady area on my garden, and it's not so productive for growing edible plant.
I need lots of open area and optimizing all of open area to make my garden productive.
I have to move them soon, cause if they grow bigger, it will be too much risk on moving plant.
I hope I have time to move them soon...
And they will grow healthy on their new place.

GUDE FLOWER

This is from my perennial legume patch.
I grow Gude or Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) on my western and eastern backyard, but the plant on the western have died.


It loves full sun area.
But this patch is on part shady area.
Lots of striking yellow flowers here.


This legume is on flowering stage right now.


Actually just a little flower.


Lots of flower buds here and there.


Beautiful little flowers...


Hoping lots of pea forward.
