Question about cowpeas
Comments (8)Depends on what you like. The only cowpeas that my wife will eat are Blackeyes,Pink Eye/Purple Hulls and Big Boys. Blackeyes are mild flavored and some folks prefer the stronger flavored brown peas. Blackeyes in all their manifestations ( Most of them are California followed by a number) California #5 is usually the one sold simply as Blackeye. California # 46 is available from some home gardener sources. The Blackeyes remain the number 1 commercial cowpea. Many homegardeners for their own reasons prefer the similar tasting Pinkeye/Purple Hull varieties. Those really into cowpeas will go for more exotic cultivars like Red Ripper, Pennyrile, Brown Crowders, Black Crowders, Lady, White Acre or the Texas Cream peas. Fortunately Blackeyes are readily available as both dried peas and frozen green shellies so you can test your taste buds before you plant. Be warned tho, the frozen green shellies as not as good as homegrown garden fresh. The Purple Knuckle Hull, a brown crowder that I like,but that my wife will not eat on a bet....See MoreDumb question about cowpeas
Comments (4)Thank you so much. What lovely beans those are! I had read your post on an old thread in which you said how good the speckled ones are. My seed is white, but I will definitely be on the hunt for the speckles next year. I picked the last of the Creams today and noticed that a few of the plants are trying to set blooms again. I will give them some time and see what happens. I have the other two coming on behind them....See MoreObservation about "Pro" ranges
Comments (3)It is entirely possible that I made an error & based on the information you have provided, I would agree there is no issue with standard residential gas service. I don't know what the documentation was that the gentleman showed me, but I believe I read & interpreted it correctly. I still think it's worthwhile to check the particulars on a unit prior to purchase/install. I'm far from an expert, this was only day one of my shopping journey! :-)...See MoreObservation about Houzz photos
Comments (5)Hi Janet, You've been here a long time! That is fantastic! It's true that the photos are not dated, so it can be tricky to determine when they were uploaded unless the professional has put a date on the project they belong to or noted it in the photo description. One way you can make sure you are looking at newer photos, however, is to choose the option for Newly Featured photos when you go to the Photos page on Houzz. See image below. Those photos will be sorted from most recent to oldest. Hope that helps!...See MoreMacmex
