Fresh limas, right out of the garden, are just fabulous.

I really hope someday to have the opportunity to have fresh
limas. The same goes for blackeyed peas.

Ohhhhh.... fresh black-eyed peas are one of the best things from the
garden and absolutely nothing like frozen or canned. And, the best news
is that they are very easy to grow. We plant a lot of them and they are
a very sturdy. lush and prolific if you keep them picked. It's best to
tend to or pick them early in the morning before the wasps start
buzzing around them. Never, ever spray them because the wasps are
beneficial & pollinators. This is a crop that nearly takes care of
itself. They grow best planted in 3-4 foot wide rows or slightly
raised beds. Pick them when the pods start to thin but before they turn
yellow or start to dry. Yum yum.
