| You might want to also post this on the Beans, Peas, & Other Legumes forum, where you might pick up some insights. Also, have you checked with the folks at the Southern Seed Legacy project at U of Georgia's anthropology department? They might know something about it as well. I'm not familiar with that specific variety. But are you sure it's a garden pea? There were a lot of cowpeas developed in Louisiana through the years, particularly during the 19th century, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn it's one of them. |
