[Ag-eq] Peas

[Nella Foster]

Tracy the only bean or peas I've grown are Snow Peas, Sugar Snap Peas and
the Yard Long Beans.  My Mom grows lots of beans and peas.  She grows the
Crowder's, which are kind of like a Blacked Eyed Pea; I really like them.

Yes, there are so many types of beans and peas out there and rarely do I
meet one I don't like. Lol

Do any of you Southern charmers know about the wonderful world of peas?  I
see all kinds in catalogs, not just the usual garden pea.  I suppose they
are dried peas, more like beans.  I see cream or crowder peas, that "make a
creamy pot licker sauce."  I see things like the Dixie white speckled butter
pea.  Ain't that a fun name?  But what does one do with a butter pea?  Does
anyone know?

 

I've been looking at heirloom beans, which have great names.  Purple Queen,
which has purple beans and purple-tinged leaves.  Mother Stallard's Bean.
Turkey Craw bean.  Annie's Irish Creek bean.  Bird's egg bean.
Disappointingly, Bird's Egg does not seem to be a really big bean, as I
would have thought.

Tracy, the bean hunter
