Pigeon Peas are one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. They grow thru poor soil conditions (such as sandy Florida soils) and are extremely drought/heat tolerant. The plant grows into a bushy shrub and will live/produce for 2-3 years. This is a super easy vegetable to grow in Florida and the south, especially for permaculture practices. The plant's root system also affixes nitrogen into the soil. 

The pods can be harvested while still green and tender to be eaten in similar fashion as edamame. The peas can be harvested in the plump green stage and cooked. Or the pod can be allowed to dry completely so the peas can be stored. 

My family is from the Dominican Republic and this is a very popular staple crop. We use peas in the fresh green stage for a popular rice dish called "arroz con guandules". This particular variety is my families favorite because the pods are extra long compared to other varieties. Therefore, they produce more peas per pod. 

Please be advised that this crop/plant is sensitive to cold weather. It is commonly grown in the tropics, South America, and the Caribbean. It will survive zones +9 just fine. However, cold temperatures experienced in zones 8 and lower can easily kill the plant. 

HOW TO GROW

Or read the full detailed blog post HERE 

Germination: 10-15 days

Seed Soak: It helps to soak the seeds in warm water overnight before planting

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/2” deep 

Direct Sowing Process: Direct sowing is preferred after the last frost. The plant is very susceptible to transplant shock which is why direct sowing is recommended.

Sowing In Containers: If you have issues with poor germination or critters eating the seedlings, then try sowing 2 seeds in a solo cup with drainage holes cut out about 6 weeks before all danger of frost has passed (approx 1-2 months after your last spring frostdate). Place each container over a heat mat to keep the soil warm which helps with germination. It also helps if you cover the containers in plastic or trash bags to lock in humidity and heat. Once they sprout, remove the plastic/trash bags and place under a grow light. They are ready to transplant once the root ball has formed enough that it holds the soil together when you try to pop the seedling out of the solo cup - but transplant before it gets root bound. 

Sun: Please grow in a full sun location or the shrub will have difficulties flowering and producing pea pods. 

Soil: Pigeon peas do not need rich soil. They grow very well in poor soils or Florida native sandy soils without amendments. 

Water: At the beginning, before plants get established, monitor and keep the soil moisture consistent. Once established - like when plantsare 6 months or older, they should be able to fend for themselves with natural rainfall. For this reason, we like to plant our pigeon peas 1-2 months before the rainy season starts in Florida. We monitor and water the baby seedlings until the rainy season starts (typically in June). Then the plants should be ok unless it doesnt rain for many days. Pigeon peas do not like excess water in the soil. Make sure the soil is well drainage. Allow the soil to dry out a little in between watering. It is especially important to keep soil moisture consistent during pod formation so they fill out nicely. 

Harvest: To eat the entire pod: harvest the entire pod at a tender green stage before the peas inside start to swell and consume like edamame. To eat fresh peas: harvest the entire pods when the green peas bulge inside but before the entire pod is dried out.  To eat/store dry peas: allow the pod and peas inside to dry completely and turn brown. Then shell out the dried peas and store in a cool, dry, dark place.

Strong motor. Works great
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
I really like this frother. The fact that it’s variable speed, rechargeable, and can spin at a high rate are all great features. I use it to blend collagen powder and cream into my coffee every morning. Also sometimes use it to Blend drinks. Strong motor. Like that the whisks are removable for cleaning and that it comes with different ones.

Works well, long use on single charge, high torque - be careful when starting
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
Not the most inexpensive powered whisker bur I've used other Typhor products and found them reliable for the task designed. I fell they don't cheap out on the rechargeable battery so I don't fell they will catch fire, as we are hearing about from other cheaper rechargeable items. I liked 2 things about this model the speed control is by a pressure single switch which I can control, not just pick speed 1,2,3. The swappable tips allow for different uses. I don't drink coffee but use the item to whisk eggs for an omelets and it has the torque to mix them without effort. In Fact need to only use half power else it will splatter out of my mixing vessel.

I am very impressed!
This little frother is perfect and my frappé coffee tastes as if I were sitting at one of the hundreds cute, outside cafés in Thessaloniki. It whips stiff coffee foam in just a few seconds, holds charge for a long time, and appears to be of superior quality. Variable speed control is great, as it prevents the coffee liquid to splash when starting the frothing process. Granted, I have only owned it for about 2 weeks, but I am totally impressed, and hope it'll keep making delicious frappés for me for a long time to come. So far, highly recommend!

Whips as good as my Nespresso Aerocino!
Love this frother. Whips milk as good as my Nespresso Aerocino! I have tried several that just made light foam, but this one is wonderful. And, rechargeable also. Charge lasts a very long time. Great for travel!

Solid Upgrade, Needs Color Variety
Replaced my old frother with this one and it's a solid step up. Seriously, better build quality, more features, and noticeably more control. The variable speed dial is genuinely useful. Being able to dial from low (protein powder, matcha) to high (thick cappuccino foam) feels like an actual upgrade. The three whisk attachments give you flexibility depending on what you're making, and the included stand is a nice touch. Helps keeps the coffee bar counter from getting cluttered. Battery life seems strong so far; one charge has lasted through multiple weeks of daily use without issue. Pros: - Variable speed dial works well across a real range (not just "low" and "high") - Three whisk heads included — good for different drink types - Stand included; compact and stays put on the counter Cons: - Singular color option. The mint green clashes with everything on my coffee bar setup; wish there were neutral alternatives. ANY alternatives! - Everyone may not like the price tag but it wasn't out of my budget and the included extra bits made it worth it for me. If your kitchen palette doesn't fight the mint green, this is a capable, well-built frother at a decent price.
