Black eyed peas
« on: February 26, 2010, 15:34 »
It was for the first time I ate the leaves cooked of this variety. and they are very good.
am growing this year for their leaves rather than pods.
have anyone tried in UK?
One kid is handful. Two kids.... Example for chaos theory. Hats off to my mum who managed three...

I bet people on our site do - they get bags of all sorts from the grocers and sow them. Chick peas are a favourite and they seem to grow well.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

just stir fry simply. Initially in oil just add mustard and cumin seeds and add the leaves to stir fry. good taste though
