    Getting ready to plant some Blackeye peas this morning. Thanks for the great information!

      Awesome!! I have been planting them recently and one issue has been pillbugs or ants nibbling/destroying them as they germinate. I have taken to check them regularly and apply diatomaceous earth as a deterrent to these pests. Once the peas have a second set of leaves, they should be able to get established.

      @@newgardenroad Thanks for that advice. My garden has a lot of pillbugs so I will get some of that diatomaceous earth. I didn't get around to planting them today (too hot!). Thanks again and seriously love your channel. Stay cool.

    Cowpea has always been a banger for Me, here in the CenTex area, black-eyd.

    hello from 5b Missoula MT!!! I've never grown cowpeas before, but I'm a renter trying to pack as much food as I can into my garden. I was excited to be able to fit a third option in between pole beans and snap peas! thank you so much for all of this information, I literally don't know a soul who has tried to grow these! already looking forward to harvest, both fresh and dried! thank you

    So I am looking for a vining cowpea, do you think the red ripper would grow up a bean trellis, I really need it to grow more than 6 feet so it can clear the fence and get more light though?

    • @newgardenroad
      @newgardenroad  2 роки тому +1

      Hi! The red rippers will definitely climb, and mine seem to vine at least six feet. ✨

    Can you freeze after peeling, folks used to do that down here in Wakulla.

    • @newgardenroad
      @newgardenroad  Рік тому +1

      Yes absolutely. I might blanch fresh peas prior to freezing, but I haven't actually done it before.

    having trouble finding the calico crowder peas...could you spare a few peas so I can raise and save for next year?

      Hello, I'll have to do some digging to see if I have any. I have been trying new varieties the past couple of years.

      Hi Jay, I found some calico crowder peas in my shed and I'm testing them for viability. I'm happy to give you some. If you're still interested send me an email scott@newgardenroad.com.

    The issue I am having is the pods don't have that many seeds in them. The pod is nice and long but only 2 or 3 seeds in each pod.

    • @newgardenroad
      @newgardenroad  3 роки тому

      I'm not sure what the answer is, but it could point to poor pollination. They are self pollinating, but will be aided by pollinators or a gentle tap of the flowers. I hope they'll continue to develop for you as they often have a long production window.

    How large are your beds for growing peas? I'm just getting started with the raised beds craze, and I don't have a green thumb!!

    • @newgardenroad
      @newgardenroad  2 роки тому

      Hi! My raised beds are 4’x8’ and I generally space southern peas one plant per square foot. ✨
