[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1816306, member: 12607"] [USER=32879]@Logan52[/USER] ... while they may not be part of your culture (I'm originally a south Alabama boy), you're not too far north for cowpeas. I'm over here in Christian Co., and they do just fine! In addition to the cowpeas, I also grow Dixie White Butterpea - a bush-type lima with plump, round white beans. Have grown the Dixie red-speckled butterpea, but for me, I have to soak or pre-cook and discard the first water... IDK if its the lectins or what, but I can't just cook 'em and eat 'em straight up like the cowpeas and other dry beans. It used to 'break my back', bending over picking those butterpeas when I was a kid... now I just let 'em fill most of the pods, then pull 'em up vines and all and go sit in the shade to pick 'em off the vine. Been playing around planting some dry shell beans the last couple of years. Planted black turtle, Mayocoba, cranberry, and yellow-eye beans the last couple of years, as well as a white marrowfat type, and Tenderpod... all bush-type dry beans (Tenderpod is a pretty good green bean, but a good dry bean, too.) 'Turkey Craw', a pole-type green bean is a multi-purpose, bean... pretty decent as a green bean, can be made into 'leather britches' beans, and makes a nice dry shell bean, too. [/QUOTE]
