Cowpeas
Growing cowpeas is very easy; and they are so colorful and tasty. Very popular in the Southern U.S., Africa and Asia. They are great picked young for use as green snap beans, and stir-fried or boiled. A favorite crop here at our farm. They also make a great cover crop, to choke weeds and put nitrogen in the soil. Plant cowpea seeds like regular beans, but allow a little more space.
