You've Never Seen Peas Like This!

When going through our seed collection for fall planting, we found these two unique varieties of peas that we've never grown. We also couldn't find much when searching the internet for these. We love growing cowpeas, so hopefully these germinate so we can see just how great they are!

Pink eye purple hull bush peas are our favorite but I have tried crowder peas and they are mighty good too.

[@dawns5499]

Red Ripper. Cant beat the ongoing production and the ease of growing on the trellis.

[@Happy2Run4Me]

I’m enjoying growing Dixie Lee peas - very productive and resilient!

[@johnglad5]

You are awesome, salt of the earth, God bless

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

My cucumbers are done. When they're too big I put them in a blender with some mint and lemon or lime juice, blend it up. Strain it up. It's a great drink concentrate. I've even canned it.

[@nailwall1078]

Thee alfalfa and egg layer chicken fed got my yard looking perfect.

[@shelleydavidson509]

G.A.C. (garden advisory committee)....hahaha!!! Ducks on Duty!😄 Sure do love visiting with Lazy Dog Farm and it's whole cast of characters!

[@lindajarvies3953]

Oh I have been trying to find the Hog Brain peas for years. Super flavor and producer

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

Go Dawgs

[@johnglad5]

Thx

[@morganconley7111]

There's a video here on KZbin from America's test kitchen on bread and butter pickles where they do a canning technique where you process for a little longer but keep the temperature between 180-185 degrees and it definitely works!

[@jeas4980]

The channel "Homesteading Family" has a video on how to make the "Crispiest, Crunchiest canned pickles ever" using the pasteurization method and I've been using it for all of my pickling recipes. I can verify that 2 years later those pickles are still firm and very crisp. I can a "Klaussen Knock-off" and give it as gifts to family. It keeps that same crunch.

[@leerocks3859]

Thank you for all you do Travis nothing to do with this video but you should see my FIG TREES!! I purchased 5 cuttings from your first cutting you ever sold and they are doing amazing!! loaded with figs and some of the trees are like 10 ft tall!! I got to enjoy 2 of the LSU fig yesterday. it was like eating pure honey ❤I will be ordering more cuttings now that I know I can grow them ❤✌

[@LazyDogFarm]

Awesome! Great to hear they're doing well.

[@cantseetheforestforthetree9673]

Two tips for crisp pickles, make old fashioned lacto-fermented pickles and use bay leaves in the spices, and cap the ferment with grape leaves in the same way you might use whole cabbage leaves to cap a sauerkraut ferment. Fermented pickles aren’t cooked, so don’t lose texture from the heat of canning and as long as you protect them from oxygen by keeping them fully submerged under the brine they will not soften from the fermentation process. And then the bay leaves and grape leaves have high tannin content which preserves the crisp texture.

[@shaunlloyd5724]

Boston Pickling Cucumber is my go to cucumber. I love this cucumber!

[@hippiegirl5167]

Mine have black peas

[@rickthelian2215]

Nice to see the Ducks again, there’s a few missing😀😀😀

[@LazyDogFarm]

They cross the road too much. 3 of them got hit by vehicles last year -- 2 by the same truck. Folks drive too fast down this road.

[@littlegreen5845]

Ozark razorback look like U'us mu:ñ from native seeds. I grew it in spring and it did really well dispite having some serious powdery white stuff (mildew?) all over it almost immediately from seedling. It Didn’t spread (the powdery stuff). I’ve seen a few variations on this variety with a bit of difference in the eye.

[@DV-ol7vt]

I’ve been growing Ozark Razorback for several years. They taste great but are a little small and not as easy to shell as a zipper or purple hull. They don’t do as well in the really hot temps like the purple hulls do. I also use the razor backs for cover crops. I save my seeds ever year

[@msb8013]

I'm in Arkansas and I'm growing The Black Eyed Pea you get from the grocery store. I don't see a reason to try a more expensive variety when this one is doing so well

[@juliarroberts1621]

I am in Antigua and did the same thing. Mine are a bush variety. Planted them in two of my earth boxes and they are doing great.

[@msb8013]

@@juliarroberts1621 mine are spreading through the grass. Each are about 300 square feet. I get like five pods a day off each plant. I wonder if there's a way to tell if it's a bush variety from the grocery store

[@thefrostypea4040]

I just bought some Ozark Razorback cowpeas from Baker Creek. I've never seen these so am excited to give them a try. I'm in Arkansas 7B zone. One question. How do you keep weeds and grass out of your beds? I've been using raised beds and I think I will go back to the regular garden like you have and like my grandparents used to have. Thank you

[@gardenangel51]

Those brown and white cow peas look like Baker Creek Hog Brain Cow Peas that I got a few years ago. They haven't had them since. I still have some dried, I hope they're still viable.

[@lindajarvies3953]

I sure wish I could find some. Tremendous flavor

[@lindajarvies3953]

I did some research: try The Buffalo Seed Company. They have some!!!!!

[@justinarnold7725]

Careful Travis I think ducks are on a Melon hunt

[@ChicagoFigs]

Have you ever tried growing Alpha Beit variety of cucumber? If not, highly recommend trying a couple never season

[@mutantryeff]

I ordered and planted "Giant Sunflowers" this year. They grew to be about 30" to 36" and the entire flowers are only about 4" at most. Something happened somewhere in the packaging of those seeds.

[@llboater]

Same thing happened to me! My seeds were from Johnnys. Not sure if I read the description wrong or the seeds were mismarked.

[@robclower9606]

Did you transplant or direct sow?

[@mutantryeff]

@@robclower9606 Direct. The first two times, the snails ate them as soon as they came up. This was the third planting.

[@robclower9606]

@@mutantryeff I was gonna say I only ever had issues when i tried to transplant them. I think sunflowers do much better direct sown.

[@hollynelson543]

Hey Trav😊

[@robclower9606]

Hey Trav, can you do a worm bin update video?

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yeah we'll try to do that soon.

[@sweetcaramelsmile]

The cucumber/squash bugs decimated my cucumbers and melon vines!😢

[@tonyajackson8827]

Wow, Manuel is getting a workout! ;) I have a question: Which way of innoculating peas works best, sprinkling it in with the peas as you plant them, or mixing them with a slurry beforehand?

[@LazyDogFarm]

I don't think it matters much. We use the sprinkle when we're planting rows of peas that we'll eat, and then use the slurry method for cover crops.

[@Daddyo_farms]

Could we do another round of cucumbers now?

[@LazyDogFarm]

Sure!

[@nailwall1078]

Yall got see my stuff I can not brag enough

[@mutantryeff]

I heard ducks. And, then I got to see ducks.

[@JohnnyZBeatZ]

👍

[@cheryladams7945]

Are they similar to Black Eyed Peas?😊

[@LazyDogFarm]

Sorta, but these types usually have a more nuttier flavor.

[@jamespearson2342]

What are your favorite cool season mustard cover crops that you plant before your potatoes,and where do you order them ??Thanks

[@LazyDogFarm]

True Leaf Market online has a mix called the "Trifecta Mustard Blend." I like it a lot.

[@jamespearson2342]

@@LazyDogFarm Thanks!

[@jamesmitchell5667]

Do you ever plant any late tomatoes

[@LazyDogFarm]

I don't. I could, but we're usually tired of tomatoes by July.

[@cinderoftheland1496]

🪿🪿

[@dawns5499]

Ever planted Knuckle Hull peas?? About 3 years ago I thought was ordering purple hull peas because the picture on the website is wrong. I knew it was wrong as soon as they arrived. On a whim i threw them in my garden this year. Every web site said it was a bush pea, this is absolutely not. Its almost caught up with my Red Ripper that was planted 2 months earlier. Anyone grew these before? I can't find anything online

[@LazyDogFarm]

We have. We grew some two years ago and did several videos on it. They're somewhere in our video archives.

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

I soak my sliced cucumbers in lime water for a couple hours before I process into pickles and put a grape leaf in the top of each jar... don't over cook.

[@jeas4980]

Are you using hydrated lime?

[@2aisabsoluteTim]

I know cows pee but I never knew peas had a variety called cowpeas

[@JMJWill]

Enjoy your videos very informative and if I may take the liberty, especially if desiring to make them in senior years, start pushing back for second helping (if you do) and stay away from bacon grease, bacon, sausage, butter, cheese, most desserts, sugar,sweet Tea, rolls, biscuits and adult beverages. Too many surprises (surgeries), diabetes, obesity, heartache, heart attack, high blood pressure, colon complication, Georgia bulldog long football field of problems. I failed, I paid the price, age 48. Don’t live your senior golden years in butterfly printed pull-ups. 75 years old now due to droppings 68 lbs, still required pull ups, walk with cane, and use more supplemental oxygen then Bull dogs in August. Pass this on to Hoss, if you love him.

[@JMJWill]

@@jasminestreetfarm8112 missed my point, I believe. He is still young enough to avoid health issues associated with certain food groups. I just pointed out that I took the wrong path earlier in life and he can potentially avoid. Age is a number and death is certain but many can enjoy a certain healthier senior life span.
