Which are a cousin of the Humble Southern Staple Black Eyed Peas ,
are on the menu for tonight . Taste pretty good ... These are from
the garden , grown from seeds acquired at the Ozark Seed Swap last
May . I don't recall if I posted a follow-up to the Red Ripper
thread , but they were very good too . Both varieties will be on my
list for next year !
Man, I'm tellin' ya: You ain't et peas 'til you've had zipper cream
crowders or those wonderful tiny brown conch peas or old timey white
acre crowder peas or.... I didn't save any zipper cream seeds last
time and this year my two most reliable online sources are out;
bummer. I won't be planting more cowpeas 'til February or March,
though, so maybe will come through by then but I'm not optimistic. I
have what are probably the last of pinkeye purple hull peas just
coming in-good thing, too, because the okra's still going strong.
Two later plantings are thriving but I'm afraid cool weather will hit
just as they're coming into enflorescence.

Until just a few months ago I didn't realize how many varieties there are
out there . Puzzles me that the only ones you see on the grocery shelf are
black eyes when there are so many much tastier options . I'm hoping to find
some others next year at the seed swap .
