Yummy main ingredient in gandule rice. I live on Maui. Where do you get your pigeon pea seeds?

[@ainabearfarm8075]

I got my seeds from the garden coordinator at the HPA school garden. I know you can order good ones from the Hawaii Seed Growers Network. I would check out their site.

Can it be planted in shade? Will it still produce as an understory crop?

[@ainabearfarm8075]

The plant will thrive in shade. it will just grow slower and won’t produce as heavy a crop, but I haven’t noticed a big difference 🤙
