Red Ripper Peas ~~What Are They?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2018
- Red Ripper Peas, planted for 300 years, are a hearty, drought and heat resistant cowpea. They were planted as cover crops to add nitrogen back to the soil after corn or rice was planted. These will be our go to pea for the next few years. They can be eaten fresh, canned for future use or left to dry.

Thank you.
Deep South Homestead goodmorning from North Carolina
Duely noted! When and with what did you fertilize?
Thanks, Danny. I was going to order from another place but they were more expensive ....and out of stock. Will check out Southern Exposure. Looks like they have really good prices if their seeds are also good. Thanks again.
Thank you Deep South Homestead for speaking so openly about the coming grand solar minimum...blessings to you ✌️
Oh my gosh!!! The words you spoke then compared to what our gov. would be doing to us today..wow. 😳
I planted my first garden this year and put these cowpeas in it. I think they’re my very favorite plant in the garden!!!
Beautiful plants with gorgeous purple/blue flowers, healthy, no diseases, LOTS of pollinators and cool, stand up stems that make it so easy to pick make this a fantastic addition❤️
Danny, thanks for the info about freezing the peas for a couple weeks. I remember several years ago at a local farm store I bought a bag of peas to plant. The bag was sitting by my desk and I kept hearing something. Eventually I figured out it was coming from the seed bag. I opened it up and there were tiny little bugs having a big ole party in there. Over half the seeds were eaten already.
We plant the red ripper peas a couple of years ago and they are delicious. I think I planted one package and I still have quite a few jars canned. I canned a bunch. They just kept making. I did save some dried ones to plant which I will probably plant next year. Glad to see a video on these peas. If anyone likes cow peas they will love these.
What a beautiful color on those peas. I hear your rain frog showing off for everybody.
Thanks for the tip (and warning!) about the worms! 😬
Gramma calls these red crowder peas. Cause you can crowd them together and they still grow good. And cause they always fixed them when they had a crowd for supper/dinner.
Beautiful peas! I will never stop being amazed at the abundance of food you can get from a handful of seeds.
I have to run and do a quick favor for someone, I will come back to this as I have much to say and much to ask. Thank you Danny!!!
Yay! Another bean to try. We don't have the worms in our purple hulls or any other bean or pea but it does get hot. I think I'll see how they do in hot dry climate. Its looking like 113° today.
thank you
we grow them but we plant them with the corn so they climb the corn my mom loved these peas
Gonna have to try these. shalom
We had some aphids on a few of our purple hulls here in east Texas ,but not persistent .Thanks Danny
Funny, Danny..... I'm ALWAYS counting things.... Interesting video. Always enjoy visiting with you guys...
I'm shopping now. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip about freezing the seeds. As a newcomer to saving bean seeds I appreciate the tip.
Never grown them but I'm ordering and planting still this year!
they like black eye beans my mom would make
thank ya danny for showin me what my mommy would make when I was a youngin :)
I love watching your channel.. I learn so much.. thank you for sharing.. big hugs to both you & Wanda... :")
Thank you for the info! I just ordered some from Southern exposure. Along with some peppers, using your link here. God Bless
Awesome!
Thank you so much for the info on Red Rippers, their history & the fact that they are not prone to aphids. No one in my family likes them except my husband and I. We were given red rippers a couple years ago and were able to save seeds. We have a small patch and they are growing like crazy. Thank you for your wealth of information.
Thx for the info Boss..💯👍😁
Wanda. Off topic. In previous vid you were looking for homemade pectin recipes. Jonathan Wallace has a lemon marmalade recipe that translates well with other citrus fruit as well. At back end he has a quick tip for homemade pectin.
came back in time , lol, to watch your red ripper peas video. I am planting them this year in with my corn. Some for family, some for chooks. Some to save for planting again. Excited about these! Thanks for the tip on freezing the dry peas, that's much appreciated.
Those peas sound so good 😊
I’m looking forward to planting these. Thank you.
Thanks Danny. I'll be trying them next year if the good Lord's willing. Much Love
Very interesting Danny.Thank you for sharing.And God Bless.
Just found this older video. First, THANK YOU to Danny and Wanda for introducing me to Red Ripper Peas, on a couple of newer videos! The reference to kudzu is right on target! These peas are like kudzu that produces food...a LOT of food! I planted one little packet of seeds last year, just to try these peas out, about 25 row-feet, planted double-row on drip irrigation, with a trellis. They filled up the trellis, two rows of corn stalks, crossed the walkway, and spread out through the tomato plants. We ate fresh peas, then let lots of them dry on the vine...couldn't tell you how many times we harvested off that small planting. I'm still eating last year's crop in April, with a good bit left to go. This year, I'm going to plant Red Rippers as a privacy barrier by the swimming pool, since the vines grow so thick and long on a trellis...privacy and food! I'm also going to plant some along a fence row near the woods, as a deer and wildlife food plot.
Field peas are the most amazing plant and vegetable. I honestly do not understand why they aren't grown more everywhere. Great yields better taste,size and storing. A more useful crop all around. You eat the peas and use the plant for feed for the animals or put them on the compost heap. Not to mention heat tolerance and it's a native plant if I remember right. They grow like a weed too.
We loved this video. Going to check these out since our Mississippi Improved cannot be saved but produce better than any pea we've planted.
Full House Homesteaders W/ Homestead Mama These are some awesome peas i highly recommend them. Thanks
Guess I need to get some seed for next year even if I don't get a full garden put in. I can broadcast some of the peas and pick some while they help the soil.
Looks like Maybe I will be able to can some after all. I found a Mirro 8 quart pressure canner/cooker at a Thrift Store for $8.00. Just need a rubber ring and the pop off valve, less than $30.00 I think. I can lift 7 pints with the water. Plus the smaller canner is lighter. Knew they did not make the small ones any more, first one I have seen in years.
Thanks for that review on them, I am going to put them on the list for when we get the bigger garden up and going! Mandy is another name for them and it's my nickname! So guess I have to grow them!
Our family grew red ripper, purple hull, and zipper cream peas for decades! About 4 years ago, our elderly grandparents could no longer keep the garden going and quit growing them. We have been missing those peas that we would often eat with cornbread and a little chow chow. This year, I finally got to start my own garden and although they got planted later than I like, I've got all 3 varieties in the ground. They're not making yet but they're growing super fast and I expect them to start making in a week or two. They're surviving this heat well too! My favorite are the cream peas but they didn't germinate well and aren't thriving like the other two. I planted purple hulls 2 years ago in a small garden and had aphids like crazy, so if the red rippers don't end up having aphid problems those might be our go-to in the future as well. We will see. Everything is just a big experiment this year to see how things grow here at our new homestead. Happy homesteading y'all!
Lindsay Devoll save some seeds from each type for planting in a fee more years when the weather settles down.
Great info Danny. We grow pinkeye purple hulls. My corn is done so I think I'll plant some red rippers.
Yes those aphids were bad this year. I don't know why I said we're I'm still battling with them. But like you I'm ready to tear out and replant
Use the antique shelling machine !
Great ideas!
It got to 122 here yesterday at 4:29 pm. I think it was in the 90's for an overnight low. I think I need to find some really old seeds that work in extreme heat! What's happening to the world, Danny? Oh, btw, it's at 10:30 am.
I bought 5 lbs of them for the family Christmas present. My dad laughed but everyone else didn't 😆
1/2 bag planted 900' of row.
They sprouted quicker than the purple hulls. In fact, my dad has to replant the purple hulls. Different seed source and they didn't come up hardly.
I saw y'all grow them in the greenhouse. MS. Wanda sold me on them lol
I told my dad this should be enough for us to try and see if we like them 😂
Honestly, I've never meet a field pea I didn't like 😊
Hope I can find some Red ripper peas around here.

Great all around pea!. Fresh or dry for eating them, Cow feed, Nitro fix! Thanks...going to add them to the garden. Hmm...wonder if the chickens could benefit from them before they dry?
The animals all love these peas fresh. The chickens will eat the dry peas. We feed the bug bitten ones to the chickens.
Danny do you have a link where you list the names of the individual plants you have success with here in the deep south? I wish the seed co. told you which do good where, but they don't. And I'm 62 and don't have time to do trial and era. Would appreciate any help you can offer. So glad I found your channel. The info you and your wife give is of great value to me.
How do you Gardners deal with the squash vine borer? If I can’t save the squash I will plant those peas!
I really liked this video. I've been wondering for a while what red ripper peas were and you explained so much. I cant wait for you to talk about garlic and the stratification thing because I don't really understand it as far as what kind of garlic to get (bulbs from the grocery store?) And do you just break it apart and put it in the fridge or do you need to plant them over the winter then pull them and then put them in the fridge? I'm in Jacksonville, florida and I can never get onions or garlic to grow..
SOLD !!!
Them worms just add more protein. To quote my family- all ages..
Red ripper peas look interesting.. glad they are doing well for you. I'm growing a lot of beans for drying this year & think it's going to be a bug year as it's super hot in middle England. Will have to put the bens in the freezer.... but will they store ok on larder shelf as dried beans after they have defrosted?
Mitch Heywood Yes they should.
Youve thrown out terms for the solar cycles ive not heard of. I never realized there were different types of minimums. I wonder if thats why some plants im growing arent flowering yet when they should have already.
Look like Red Beans when dried and canned.......up north we use them for red bean and rice...is it the same different name???
These are peas, red beans are kidney beans.
They're so pretty, I've never seen purple peas on the vine. But I think they look more like black-eyed peas in the pod. Would they be easier to pick (find) if you grew them up your cattle panels? Especially if they vine up to 10 feet.
I've never grown the red rippers although I will be growing them in the future. I grow all my runner peas and beans up a trellis. There is the extra step of removing the vines from the trellis in order to till them into the soil or compost them like with anything you run up a trellis. If you have mobility issues that extra step is a lot easier in the long run than constantly bending over to harvest them.
black eyes, field, purple hull, crowder are all part of the cow pea family. I prefer the crowder peas myself, they are all good and grow well in poor dirt.
Is that some sort of moth larvae? And do they get into all dried peas and beans?
Sounds like a good food for long term storage. Is the nitrogen available as the pea grows?
What is your favorite recipe to cook the red ripper peas (dry)?
Are the larva in all field peas?
18 peas per pod is great. I have never planted peas, but I like what you are showing us here. Looks like I will have to expand my garden AGAIN next year cause I'd like to try these. I'm up in PA , growing area 6B, will they do ok here? What do they taste like at the green stage? Can you can them at the green stage? Thanks for the info Danny.
We grew pink eye purple hull peas, a similar cowpea, in our backyard in Columbus Ohio before we moved back south a few years ago. A farm just down the road also grew black crowder peas (again cowpea) every summer mostly for animal feed but they had a pick-your-own stand for a few weeks during the summer. So they should grow just be sure to plant them when the ground is good and warm or else they won't sprout. As for the green stage people who like them just snap them into bite-size pieces and mix them in with the full grown peas. I don't care for the snaps myself though I prefer actual green beans, much sweeter. If you grow some be sure to save a mess to cook on New Years Day with a nice Christmas ham bone some onion, bacon and a pot of greens (collards, mustard, cabbage it doesn't matter). Its a Southern tradition for a lucky and prosperous new year.
(I guess you could substitute smoked ham hocks or even smoked turkey legs instead of a ham bone but if you've got it.)
How many days to maturity?
Where can you buy the red ripper
OCD !! LOL!!!
DANNY,where can one find these peas in order to buy seed? have a blessed and safe day
I want to know where to buy them too. Thanks for the good info on these peas.

thank you for the link, DANNY
I container garden in the cattle molasses containers, filled with compost and its been infected with early and late blight, this wipes out my tomatoes, ect do you have any recommendation to get rid of the blight? any help would be appreciated
Most blights comes from water splattering up from the ground onto the lower leaves. Ground cover helps with this on many vegetables.
My father in law Got me on field peas which we can't find any where . They were a little light green and white pea not the red ones you find in the can now. Do you know which one I am talking about. And do you have them in the stores in your area?
That sounds like lady cream peas, Wilhite seeds has them.
What about some black cowpeas
I have the black peas seeds and the gray
At what stage would you turn them into the soil to improve soil condition?
Gerhard Braatz you dont turn them in they produce nitrogen from there root system. Thanks
Theres actually very little "leakage" directly into the soil from root nodules. Almost all nodule fixed N is transmitted to the plant (and actually the highest concentration ends up in the bean itself). I assume you compost the plant materials so youll get the N into the ground via compost spread but just growing red rippers and removing the biomass wont change N concentration in the soil appreciably
Veggies In The Garden, Can you chop and drop before beans are produced? What is the best way to amend the soil with this plant?
@@veggiesinthegarden5014 we don't have the means nor space for a compost pile...in that case would cutting the entire plant down once it's done/dried up and then plowing it into the soil be the next best thing to turning them into compost?...
i've ordered these as a summer cover crop in order to regenerate our small garden's soil for next year because that's what many gardening/farming folks on youtube recommend and we wanted to have a heat/humidity resistant, edible crop as well...
however, no one really elaborates further and explains in detail how to best utilize this plant to actually regenerate the nitrogen into soil once they're planted...
some seem to hint/imply that just the fact that they're planted in the soil will improve the soil's nitrogen via their roots which apparently pull up, then store the nitrogen from deep within the soil and then release it back into the shallow layer/surface via tiny globules...
others [these are usually the large acreage farmers] seem to imply that turning/plowing them into the soil before winter is their typical m.o... now, i've just read your explanation and so it seems that turning the plant into compost is likely the only practical means to put its accumulated nitrogen reserves into the soil... what is the next best manner of doing this without composting?...
btw, as a heat resistant crop these beans are incredible... they've taken over the entire garden within about 1 month despite very hot and humid summer, we didn't even really water them either, the occasional rain was quite sufficient to make them thrive... no weeds to speak of because these red ripper cowpeas [beans actually] smothered everything that might want to grow beneath them, the plants are very dense and completely shade the soil...
now for the best part, they are incredibly prolific in producing the beans/pods and are still going nearly 2 months after they first started to produce the pods...
this is as close to perfect survival/prepper type of food/protein as i can think of; they practically propagate and grow itself, all we did was scattered a bunch of these seeds in mid to late july and then watered the soil with a spray nozzle on the garden hose for 5 minutes... haven't watered the garden since yet they're the most abundant crop we've ever had...
besides drying some for actual food, we'll be saving 30-50 seeds for replanting next year although we'll likely have to dig up some grass/dirt somewhere else on our small property and start a tiny garden exclusively for these beans - as a prepper/emergency food garden of sorts - because they seem to overpower anything else that might be planted in the soil...
if we'd plant them in our present garden next year along with several other crops, we'd soon wind up having only red ripper cowpeas growing there...
now, i just wish we could be certain of how to best utilize the plants/roots themselves for the soil's nitrogen regeneration... googling this subject brings up a few different approaches just like different implied suggestions on youtube videos but still without an actual in-depth logical explanation...
Can they be crown in a pot? I'd like to try them.
Yes they can. Thanks
Louna Stars I grow mine there. They do fine. The more pots the more peas.
Are the green pods edible?
Not by humans but cattle and rabbits love them.
Can I plant them in containers?
Amy, Have you tried them in containers in the meantime? I started 4 types of southern peas in containers and they all sprouted in 3 days, in South Florida, in +90 F weather. Now I’ll have to see if they will produce fruit. I keep them in a screened enclosure, so I hope self pollination works well.
Yes you can
Finally planted some last Thursday. They are taking off. Thank you ❤
