| Ok this is probably a waste of my trellis space but the wife has fallen in love with black eye peas since she went down to her best friends wedding in Florida. She asked if I could grow these and I said sure....I think? I have good success with other types of peas but I dont know if this can be done up here. I live on the coast line so it does not get as hot as inland. Any advice? Should I even try? I would love to hear anyone's opinion! Thanks to all for taking the time to "save" me.

For best results, plant them after all risk of frost has passed. Don't overwater black eyed peas, because they are very drought resistant. Too much nitrogren is bad for black eyed peas.
