Cowpea Seed Planting Information:

Plant your cowpeas outdoors directly in the garden after your last frost date. Germination is improved when the soil temperature exceeds 65 F. Cowpeas require a long growing season with 4 months of warm days. They are drought resistant and basically can grow anywhere corn can grow. Plants can grow 8 to 36" tall.

Warning: Do not plant in cold wet soil or you may experience poor germination!

Soil Requirements:

Requires rich fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply much, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Beans do not like soil that is too moist. Water during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro.

Harvest Tips:

Cowpeas can be harvested at any time, but are most often used as a green mature bean. Also grown and used as a dried bean. Frequent harvesting also encourages plant to produce more pods.

Been growing peas for 60 years but never grew a better pea than this. In every way it is first class. Wife made some sandwich spread with them and it was great also. Reminds me of the old cream crowder from my youth.

These cowpeas are so worth the effort. There are 10 to as many as 15 peas in one pod. They are easy to pick and easy to cook. They taste great, cant believe more people don't plant them!!!
