West Coast Seeds (Noodle King)
West Coast Seeds (Noodle King)
Noodle King’s tall vining plants produce slim tender green pods that are best picked at 30-45cm (12-18”). Also known as asparagus bean, Noodle King is faster to mature than other yard long varieties for better adaptability in regions with a shorter growing season. Delicious steamed and in stir-fries. Tall plants must be trellised.

TIPS:
Aphids & Spider mites (two-spotted) – A hard stream of water can be used to remove aphids from plants. Wash off with water early in the day. Check for natural enemies such as grey-brown or bloated, parasitized aphids and the presence of larvae of lady beetles and lacewings.
Leafhoppers – Small, light green to grey insects that feed on the plant juices, causing stunted growth, and transferring viruses. No cultural control available.
