My summer peas in Louisiana were ruined by the stings of the bugs, but I noticed my Red Rippers and Crowders had less and less stings beginning in August. So what I did in mid summer was harvest the green pods before the stings and boiled them. That was the only way to eat any. I`m getting a decent harvest of dry peas now though in cooler weather and many more blooms than in hot weather. I don`t have much space so I planted them around my fig tree mounds and kept the vines on the ground. The wild bunnies ate some of them but it kept them occupied and out of my main garden.
Hi Greg I just had to give you an update On my red field peas I got from y’all Oh my you are kidding they are indeterminate haha Be a beginner you never know when you plant something what to expect if something actually gonna grow or not Came out this morning lo and behold I have field peas yay. I’m so excited Thank you so much for my wonderful seeds and all the information on how to grow them
Thanks Greg! My fall peas didn't do anything. Out of 3 packs planted, I got about 5 or 6 plants. Not sure what happened. But, Spring will be here soon enough.
You followed up planting your crowders in the corn bed. I just harvested my sweet onions...which I bought from HOSS Tools...Please your opinion on planting Mississippi Purple Hull Top Pick...which I also bought from HOSS Tools...in the bed where my onions were planted. My onions were fertilized with your 20-20-20. I want peas, not vines.
Well im in zone 8A and im hoping that ive got enough time left before frost cause im just now plowing under the grass that grew up and gotta let it decompose.
I’m planning on taking off of work to plant my garden next year. Win win for me. Work for a couple of weeks and then off a couple of weeks. Save money on food and don’t have to pay Uncle Sam as much in taxes!!!
When is the optimum time to pick zipper peas. I've planted a ton and they are loaded up. I planted 2 crops about 2 weeks apart. The first is coming ready right now. I picked some this weekend. I noticed the ones that were turning a little yellow were larger and easier to pick. I'm overwhelmed with how many they have produced. From a taste perspective is it good to pick em a little yellow or while still green? Thanks for all the info you share.
We pick them when they are slightly yellow and while still green. The green ones need to be plump and break off the vine easily. They have more of a flexible rubbery fill than the younger ones. I have not found a difference in taste.
Love me some cow peas with some cooked bacon, and some onion and some sweet cornbread and a glass of sweet tea sitting underneath a shade tree life don’t get any better than that
Don't know what I would do without you! A wealth of information......thanks Greg!

I've planted white peas in the middle of August and picked peas at Thanksgiving...
I always plant my purple hull's in the fall season
Really good info Greg, enjoyed the video
Thanks 👍
I always have stink bug problems as well.
Thanks Greg Enjoyed the great info because I've struggled in the Fall growing peas cause they get rust,aphids or stung up.
Oh dang. I asked my question, sent it, and then you answered it in the video after I sent it.
Great Job On Peas Boss Hoss
When do you pull up your zipper plant? After you picked all the peas off the stems will they send up another stem and bloom again or are they done?
They will bloom again.
Thanks for another great informative video. I appreciate all of your wisdom Hoss!
Thanks so much, Destiny and Purpose! Appreciate ya!

How to grow cowpeas in my area at this time of year: in a greenhouse, because they're not growing outside with frost.
Well im in zone 8A and im hoping that ive got enough time left before frost cause im just now plowing under the grass that grew up and gotta let it decompose.
I like them Crowder peas
Thank you sir.

I have purple peas planted and they are full of peas but my bottom leaves turning yellow. What could it be? Please….I don’t want to lose them!
Normally that is a indication of too much or too little water.
@@gardeningwithhoss that’s what i thought! Thank you!!

The deer have destroyed my top pick purple hull peas but left the regular purple peas...
