Delicious, fleshy 3 in. round pods to eat whole when fully grown. All-America Winner. GARDEN HINTS: Provide strong support for 6 ft. vines. For earliest sowing, prepare rows in fall to avoid working cool, wet, spring soil. Sow 2 or 3 times, 7-10 days apart, to extend harvest. To save space, sow in double rows 3 in. apart with 2 ½-3 ft. of space between double rows.

Whiteflies

Aleyrodidae family

These tiny sucking insects often congregate in large colonies and are a particular problem in large greenhouses. They weaken plants by removing large quantities of nutrients and can also transmit disease.

Treat whitefly like aphids, by washing them from plants with a strong jet of water and by encouraging predators. Use soap spray or rotenone (as a last resort).
