June 12, 2011A.It sounds like your blossoms are not getting pollinated. Try planting some flowers next to your garden that attract bees and butterflies. Make sure you properly fertilize the peas at least once or twice as well.

October 19, 2011Q.Would More Water Show a Faster Growth Rate in Black Eyed Beans?
I have to do an experiment to show if giving a plant more water would show faster growth rate. I planted two separate pots. One has enough water and the other has a great amount of water. The one with more water showed a shoot after 3 days but the other plant showed no sign of growth.

Certified ExpertA.At that stage, extra water helps to speed up germination because it helps to soften the seed coat faster, which makes it easier for the water to penetrate the rest of the seed and start the germination.

April 30, 2012A.It may be lacking enough nutrients, which could stem from not being able to take up enough nutrients due to either too little water or transplant shock. I would increase water to the plants and that should help.

Certified ExpertA.No, there's no certain direction, the roots and top growth know which way to go. Just drop it in the planting hole, cover and water.

How do you know when black-eyed peas are ready to be picked?

Certified ExpertA.Black-eyed peas are usually ready for picking about 60 to 90 days after planting. Harvest for several days to a few weeks, depending on the variety you have planted. Harvest the black-eyed peas plant before maturity for young, tender snaps. Leaves are also edible at younger stages, prepared in the same way as spinach and other greens.

October 31, 2013Q.Wilted Starter leaves on Black-eyed peas Grown in Pot
I have black-eyed pea seedlings. They were doing well and still look ok, other than the only leaves have wilted. They are not yellow or weak looking, just wilted down. It looks like more growth is happning at the tops. Is this normal?

Certified ExpertA.It depends on the exact variety, but it should be about 70 days from planting. You know they are ready to harvest when the pods can be easily split and the seeds come out easily.
