The Knuckle Purple Hull Crowder is a bush type cowpea producing heavy yields of purple pods. Cowpeas in general are great for drying and canning. This variety tends to stay off the ground and cluster making for easy picking. This cowpea is referred to as a "Knuckle Hull" because of the big, plump cowpeas.

Contains 30 heirloom seeds

How to Grow: Sow seed 1 in. deep, 2 in. apart in rows 3-6 ft. apart, thinning to 4 in. apart. Southern peas have cultural requirements similar to beans. They need warmer soil, so wait until 3-4 weeks after last frost to plant. Need full sun and a warm growing season. For best results provide a well-drained soil, with pH in the range of 5.5-6.5.

The ability of southern peas to grow in poor soil is quite remarkable--many varieties are also used as cover crops--and they are relatively free of insects and disease in the Mid-Atlantic.

Better Than Blue Lake

These Jade bush beans are probably the best green bean I've ever grown and tasted! They produce well, are nice and long, and easy to snap, cook and can. Now that I know how wonderful these are I will definitely plant more next season. Thank you Mary for these fantastic beans!

The Best Snap Pea EVER

Hands down the best snap pea we ever had! Even the kids will go into my garden and break the vines trying to get all these peas! This is a must try and you will grow every year!

Plastic Whiskey Barrell Aproved

I planted seeds in half of a plastic whiskey barrel four years ago. Now, it comes up by itself every year from a tomato falled on dirt. Decembet 22, 2024 and it's still producing sweet tomatoes. Thrives in Texas heat.

Hope I can start these in the house early next spring.

Cant wait to plant these beauties!
