Chickpea, Anna (90 days)

Cicer arietinum

Garbanzos are a cooler weather crop that can be sown like peas early in spring. The plants are best thinned to about a foot apart because of their spreading habit. They don't need staking. They require little attention beyond the occasional weeding or hoeing and are quite drought-tolerant. Anna is an early maturing small seeded garbanzo with seeds that are 1/4" across and a pretty yellow to orange color. Flowers are a pink set against dusky green lacey foliage. Produce two, sometimes one bean per pod. Plant early in spring. Bush habit. HOO
