Grow Black Eyed Peas

Seed an Extra Fall Crop in August
Still harvesting black eyed peas in October!
Black eyed peas are super easy to grow...can even be seeded direct outdoors in the middle of August during the blazing heat. They germinate quickly and tolerate the heat well. First peas were ready about a month after seeding so it's a quick crop. They've continued producing steadily since. Fresh black eyed (or cow) peas taste great. I cook mine up with a sliced up jalapeno for some heat. Quite tasty. You can let them dry and store them for cooking later...or for seeds to replant. Next time around, I'll definitely plant more so as to get a bigger harvest.
