Chickpea Plant

    (photo was taken during night time)

      Chickpea also called as garbanzo bean is an edible legume. It is very high in protein and can be cooked and eaten cold in a salad. Some people prefer to cook it in a stew while others ground it for flour. 

    I got this chickpea plant when we went to Armstrong Garden Center more or less two weeks before christmas. I was not really sure if this plant will survive because we had been hit with heavy rain showers lately and it's freezing cold. Fortunately, my chickpea plant is growing and looking great. I can't wait to see it bears pods.
