Pigeon Peas are one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. They grow thru poor soil conditions (such as sandy Florida soils) and are extremely drought/heat tolerant. The plant grows into a bushy shrub and will live/produce for 2-3 years. This is a super easy vegetable to grow in Florida and the south, especially for permaculture practices. The plant's root system also affixes nitrogen into the soil. 

The pods can be harvested while still green and tender to be eaten in similar fashion as edamame. The peas can be harvested in the plump green stage and cooked. Or the pod can be allowed to dry completely so the peas can be stored. 

My family is from the Dominican Republic and this is a very popular staple crop. We use peas in the fresh green stage for a popular rice dish called "arroz con guandules". This particular variety is my families favorite because the pods are extra long compared to other varieties. Therefore, they produce more peas per pod. 

Please be advised that this crop/plant is sensitive to cold weather. It is commonly grown in the tropics, South America, and the Caribbean. It will survive zones +9 just fine. However, cold temperatures experienced in zones 8 and lower can easily kill the plant. 

HOW TO GROW

Germination: 10-15 days

Seed Soak: It helps to soak the seeds in warm water overnight before planting

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/2” deep 

Direct Sowing Process: Direct sowing is preferred after the last frost. The plant is very susceptible to transplant shock which is why direct sowing is recommended.

Sowing In Containers: If you have issues with poor germination or critters eating the seedlings, then try sowing 2 seeds in a solo cup with drainage holes cut out about 6 weeks before all danger of frost has passed (approx 1-2 months after your last spring frostdate). Place each container over a heat mat to keep the soil warm which helps with germination. It also helps if you cover the containers in plastic or trash bags to lock in humidity and heat. Once they sprout, remove the plastic/trash bags and place under a grow light. They are ready to transplant once the root ball has formed enough that it holds the soil together when you try to pop the seedling out of the solo cup - but transplant before it gets root bound. 

Sun: Please grow in a full sun location or the shrub will have difficulties flowering and producing pea pods. 

Soil: Pigeon peas do not need rich soil. They grow very well in poor soils or Florida native sandy soils without amendments. 

Water: At the beginning, before plants get established, monitor and keep the soil moisture consistent. Once established - like when plantsare 6 months or older, they should be able to fend for themselves with natural rainfall. For this reason, we like to plant our pigeon peas 1-2 months before the rainy season starts in Florida. We monitor and water the baby seedlings until the rainy season starts (typically in June). Then the plants should be ok unless it doesnt rain for many days. Pigeon peas do not like excess water in the soil. Make sure the soil is well drainage. Allow the soil to dry out a little in between watering. It is especially important to keep soil moisture consistent during pod formation so they fill out nicely. 

Harvest: To eat the entire pod: harvest the entire pod at a tender green stage before the peas inside start to swell and consume like edamame. To eat fresh peas: harvest the entire pods when the green peas bulge inside but before the entire pod is dried out.  To eat/store dry peas: allow the pod and peas inside to dry completely and turn brown. Then shell out the dried peas and store in a cool, dry, dark place.

Color: Warm Gold
Out of the box great looking paper towel holder, matches our Honey Bronze cabinet hardware perfectly, it feels solid, well weighted,,,,but what sets this apart is how easy it is to tear towels off the roll,,,not sure how friction works so well on this but it does,,, unlike any of our other past towel roll holders.
