A suggestion for those of you who did not grow up in the deep south, but still live in a warm climate zone, I would like to suggest that you consider growing white acre peas. They are easy to grow and thrive on heat and are delicious (especially along with cornbread. I tried growing them in Kansas, with great success.

They should be planted with overnight temperatures exceed 50 degrees. When growing, they vine and spread. They love heat and moisture. After picking mature pea pids, you will need to shell the peas. Cook them in boiling water and bacon with salt.

There are 3 varieties of acre peas I would recommend (1) improve white acre pears, (2) zipper crowders (larger in size), and (3) Texas longhorn (longer pods with more peas).

I must admit I've never grown white acre peas. Maybe I will.

I keep trying to grow peas and beans but they don’t come up for some reason. I replanted this time and still, almost nothing???

Any suggestions?

You may be planting the seeds too deep. Field peas should be planted just beneath the surface, and beans no deeper than a half an inch deep.

Also, I get a good germination rate when I plant all of the feeds in a row and apply water directly in the row before I cover the seeds with soil. Also, you want to keep the soil most while the seeds are germinating.
