Gungo peas/Pigeon peas/GANDULES - Harvest, easy shelling, storing PLUS starting new plants from seed

in today's video, I harvest my yummy gungo peas, them show you an easy way to shell the peas, then separate and store the dried peas versus the green peas

[@unimportanthomestead]

It’s nice to hear about your first garden plant, also you know I want some peas 😂

[@dianehill4733]

Hope to grow these in the spring. I will check your Etsy store for seeds.

[@FEFE-473]

Great harvest,I'll be planting some this year hopefully I'm successful at it

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Thanks. Plant early do you harvest before your freeze. You're amazing. It'll be great I'm sure

[@missygrando1965]

Great tips on the growing these peas. They bushes got nice and big.

[@sow2grow]

Very interesting. never heard of these peas.

[@backyardfarmerpat]

You never heard of pigeon peas?

[@Adnancorner]

Its an ancient legume famous in India and in west Africa.

[@mikeschaoticgardening]

They look delicious...never had though

[@backyardfarmerpat]

It's pigeon peas. You never had those? Really really really good. Check out my video coming Sunday

[@denesestanley7011]

Shelling pigeon peas - childhood memories. I will try and plant some next year. Thanks for sharing. I will set my seeds in November inside and hope for the best.

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Sounds great!

[@moisesvalle4379]

Gandules Pigeon peas are absolutely the freaking best! Not only are they nitrogen fixer for the soil but they are also full of proteins!!

[@backyardfarmerpat]

They sure are🙌🏾

[@dmood7157]

Looking great Pat. I would love some seeds. 👍

[@backyardfarmerpat]

You're in!

[@marantoinet3757]

Ian took my tree down it was broken. 😞 I harvested a lot of it and gave some away to a friend and she hated shelling them. She wanted me to do the work and give her the peas. Oh, no! 😁 I have planted two more trees and they're growing well. One now has buds but has a little bit of damages on the top due to the frost. Good job Pat! 👍

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Hopefully it will produce for you

[@zulemaramos637]

we are growign Bush Beans : ) thank you for sharing, we wanna grow these too

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Good choice. They're great

[@Adnancorner]

you should plant corn or pearl millet around these shrubs. Because they are legume the growth of the corn and pearl millet is more quick and good harvest.

[@natlouis07]

This year i don't have any i will be planting a lot of food this

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Great. Go for it. Now's the perfect time

[@natlouis07]

@@backyardfarmerpat thanks

[@cowgrlmeg]

Do you plant yours in the winter or wait until spring after frost possible.

[@backyardfarmerpat]

I planted in Spring.

[@cowgrlmeg]

@backyardfarmerpat Awesome, thank you. I picked some more of ours yesterday and left some on the plant...it's our first year but I want to plant a lot more. I didn't know if now or spring would be best. 😀

[@backyardfarmerpat]

@@cowgrlmeg happy it helped. Will you leave them on the tree to dry for spring planting?

[@cowgrlmeg]

@backyardfarmerpat yes, I picked a lot to plant in spring, I may leave a few over winter, it appears the deer have found them... so they maybe planting more for me. 😆 🤣 😂

[@natlouis07]

Let me cook them with some rice and curry goat.

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Video coming Sunday on coming rice and peas😋

[@paulsavenue12]

Do not leave the dried peas on the tree; the stifle the production of the tree. The tree will produce less peas! After two years you get diminishing returns.

[@backyardfarmerpat]

The cold killed them. I replaced this year

[@blaqfish]

Do you have to plant them every year? I didn't know that you only get one harvest from them and so I would have to pull up the bust that is over six feet to replant ... Ugh

[@backyardfarmerpat]

In South Florida they lasted years. Here they died but maybe it was just my soil. Try and see how long yours last

[@hungryfortruthhelpmate]

They last up to 5 years and grow back the next season. They grow in spring summer and fall

[@calvinmugoni]

camera is too close

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Ok

[@DevaJones03]

i didnt know they die out after a few years

[@backyardfarmerpat]

Yup. How old are yours?

[@DevaJones03]

@@backyardfarmerpat the 1 i had died in the cold so I'll be replanting as soon as i know the chances of frost are gone

[@backyardfarmerpat]

@@DevaJones03 sounds good

[@Jonnythemick]

Have you ever froze the gandules in the shell?

[@backyardfarmerpat]

No I always shell first
