<p> Joshua,</p>
<p> Thanks for sharing about these beans...I am very intrigued! I'm not sure they'd grow here in the PNW, but I am going to try them out next year in the greenhouse anyway. I am following this conversation with great interest. They sound delicious, and I like the fact that the shoots and flowers are edible too.</p>

<p> Hopefully you have not pulled out all those plants yet....you can get rid of spider mites either indoors or outdoors by applying freshly brewed worm casting tea all over the plants and soil (growing media). Due to the chitinase, an enzyme, that naturally is in worm castings, it will attack the hard bodies of the spider mites (the bodies are composed of chitin). The spider mites will be gone. Worm castings and worm casting tea is safe to use on your plants and and safe for your AP system, including the fish.</p>

<p>Spider Mites: Dealing with them outside is not too bad - rinse them off with a hard spray of water every other day - they inhabit the underside of leaves so focus there.

<h3><em>Psophocarpus tetragonolobus</em></h3>
<div class="commonname"><h3>Winged Bean MS, RF, LL, T</h3>
<p>A climbing vine which does best in hot, humid zones; The pods, beans, leaves, tubers, and flowers are all edible. Can also grow as an annual in temperate regions if day-neutral strains are chosen. Winged beans have vigorous vines that need trellis support. Winged bean is drought sensitive.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Bogor:</strong> Very vigorous; 20 cm (8 in) pods, high yields.</p>
<p><strong>Chimbu:</strong> Tender, crimson red pods, purple seed, medium yields.</p>
<p><strong>Flat:</strong>Easy to transport pods due to shape. Needs shorter days to produce seed.</p>
<p><strong>Ribbon:</strong> Smaller wings, 23 cm (9 in) green pods. Needs shorter days to produce seed.</p>
<p><strong>Siempre:</strong>Day length sensitive. Needs shorter days to produce seed. Pods are smaller then most of these varieties.</p>
<p><strong>Square:</strong> Good tuber production.</p>
<p><strong>Day-Neutral:</strong> Blooms during longer days, allowing out of season production.<br/> <br/> <cite>Joshua Wells said:</cite></p>
