- In this video, we're going over how to grow black eyed pea plants, (AKA cowpea, field pea, southern pea, OR crowder pea, depending on where you're from) as well as how I grew mine from seed and how to harvest them!
They are an easy, drought and heat tolerant plant that is so versatile, I've decided to keep growing them on our little homestead!

Thanks for sharing this! I learned a lot. Especially there “rattle” technique which I will definitely implement at my first harvest!
I’m in California…I Certainly Appreciate your Kindness in teaching us How to grow my favorite ben
Goodness! What a compliment! You're welcome. 😊
A pea called pink eye Purple hull peas grows herein North Mississippi. Delicious! Interesting seeing your black eye pea.
I planted these as a cover crop so probably won't get the pods before I chop them. But I'll cut them at the base and leave the roots in, and use the leaves as chop & drop. So cheap for a bag at the grocery store and it can even be green manure and used in the compost. I'm sold on them now.
Thank you for this video.
Super great video. I also like how you repurposed the drums and the bedframe.
Very informative!!! Thank you. I love the way you have your drums setup. You have beautiful creatively done garden.
I saw someone put the dried pods in a pillowcase and bash the crap out of them. Then used a fan or leaf blower to separate the pods from the beans, easy-peasy.
Lady! You are genius! The set up is amazing
Thank you!
How you have fewer than 1k subs is beyond me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and practices 😊
That is so nice of you. Thank you!
Just got a bag of them this year and didnt think they would feel so heavy for such a little bean. I am going to grow these instead of regular garden peas this year.....these and a gazillinon other things. I have no idea what these little guys taste like but il be cooking them up tomorrow with other mixed beans and lentils. Cant wait. Thanks for the vid and greetings from Ireland.
I grew up eating black eyed peas. They are delicious! I cook them with some smoked turkey and onions.
You may have trouble growing them in Ireland. They like hot weather
You can cut an empty plastic soft drink bottle ( pop) in half and use for mini green house instead of purchasing zip lock bags. Cheers.
Hear hear! I currently have 40 BEP seedlings in cut in half toilet paper rolls set inside an old clear plastic container that had once contained bakery croissants. Reuse is perhaps the most important part of the Reduxe/Reuse/Recycle methodology.
This is all of the info I needed! Thank you so much! 1st time grower! I'm so excited.
Oh good! I'm glad to have helped and I wish you luck! ❤️ But I bet you'll do great. 😉
@@GrowingWildFarmandGarden thank you so much!
Thanks for this great video, just what i wanted to know! Bought them in ab bag with mixed legumes aka other beans, peas and grain and i sorted them. Now i have about 200 of them in pots... OOps! Didn´t think there were so many of them ...Greetings from Europe, where this variety isn´t common (so I could´t buy "seesds")
Cheers! Oh goodness! 200 is a lot but it means a huge harvest and they can be used like snap beans, too (like you probably heard in the vid). Good luck!! (Maybe give a few away, too, lol 😆)
Learned something new. Thank you
Glad to help and glad you found it helpful!
Amazing! I learned so much, thank you.
You're so welcome!
Video was so good I decided to subscribe
Glad to have you! And thanks for your comments! I'm always on the lookout for video ideas, so I appreciate your feedback!
Thank you! I recently planted seeds for my first container vegetable garden but stuck with things we eat already. But store shelves are intermittently thinned so I'm looking to add something versatile and plentiful, thought maybe black eyed peas but didn't no where to start. Needed this info. 👍
I'm so glad this helped! Thank you for sharing with me!
Thanks for the video was very informative. I just started my Black Eyed Peas. And they just broke ground in my grow trays. Im wondering if there's gonna be a climbing or a bush type with the brand I have, I just subscribe to your channel too. Happy gardening
Great work, amazing video
Thank you!
You do need to let them dry a little longer before storing. Very informative. Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching! 😊 Happy gardening!
We call them kunde in kenya. We eat both pea and the leaves are a delicacy.
I will feed the greens to my worms for a complete cycle. The worms will give me extremely great castings.
You can also eat the leaves of cow peas!!
Beautiful hands you have and a green thumb 😊
can also eat the soft leaves as vegetables. They are yummy.
Thank you for sharing!
I didn't realize they ran like that I was wondering why mine were sending runners, I better get something up for them to climb
You're so awesome!!
Thank you!
Peas like cool weather and green beans like warm weather. Are black eyed peas like peas or beans when growing?
They are definitely a warm weather plant!
They do tend to tolerate cooler weather okay as long as it stays above frost Temps. In the south MS we don't plant past August, and Stat again in the spring. They are shallow rooted so keep soil damp in summer. They can tolerate heavy rain as long as soil is well draining (not a lot of clay, add sand) which makes them great spring crops.
@@GrowingWildFarmandGarden just wanted to say great job on the video! Very casual and informative without droning on. Beautiful plants as well. Starting my raised bed garden this year too (scavenger style) and just got my peas in first of the month. Happy gardening and good luck on the homestead!
Frijol Orihuelo,lo mejoer👍
How do I get my leaves dark green? Mine are light green?
Hmm. It could depend on the variety you're growing! Mine were Ozark Razorback Cowpea (I think!).
How do you keep the ants off the plant’s. That’s the problem am having
Strange! I would probably use Neem oil on my plants, but I didn't have any issue with ants. 🤔
I start using neem oil and it help thanks
Wait, a pea is not a bean? I have been misinformed my whole life.
Not necessarily! Actually, the two words bean and pea are often used interchangeably. However, peas are technically the round seeds of a species called Pisum sativum. :)
