This is where I spend my mornings. Picking Brown Crowder Peas, among other vegetables.
I wanted to add about the garden.... we used only compost, manure, and old leaves for fertilizer. We haven't used pesticides either. I am just so proud of the way our hard work is paying off now.

I have 5 gallon bags of crowder peas froze so far. I can just take out the amount to cook from the gallon bag and put the rest back in the freezer. I hope to have many more bags frozen by the end of the week.
I hope you all have a great day.

I'm very impressed with your gardening. I would think it extremely hard in the south to grow anything without using pesticides. Nice to have your own manure too. The peas look delicious!
Wow i love this as i have never seen them in this form before, when i first looked at the pea pods i thought they were some kind of a worm
I wish i had a green thumb
Beautiful peas! We just ate some the other night from last year's crop. We'll have more again this year. Love them with some chow-chow!
do you shuck those yourself or take them somewhere?
Mmmmmm those look SOOOO good... I can almost taste those with a big ol' pan of cornbread....
What exactly is a crowder pea? Is it like a black-eyed pea? Or a dry bean you have to soak out and cook like butter beans or northerns?
Thanks for coming by and commenting on Mallory. She is pretty special to us.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Have you ever just put your shelled peas in a pillowcase? Don't wash them first and they won't stick together. Just pour whatever amount you need out of your pillowcase- wash them and cook them. Yummy and so easy!!! Cathe in S. Mississippi
You are making me hungry. Our garden is not doing good. My mother in law called me Monday of this week and asked me if I wanted some peas and okra. I got there and she already had my peas shelled for me. She gave me peas (already shelled) okra, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, hot peppers and red potatoes all out of her garden. We had fresh vegetables several nights.
I can't get over what an awesome garden you have! Lots of hard work and love here! The peas look delicious!
Wow!!!! Things look GREAT! HOPE you are keeping cool at least here in Savannah we are on our second day of RAIN. YA YA!
Wow, I've never seen peas so LONG! We grew sugar snap peas, and they were fabulous straight off the vine. We froze some of them, but I'm sure if they'll taste the same or not. Hmm....
I have never heard of crowder peas before. Are they like normal green peas?
Great to see you have found time to blog and take your beautiful photographs! Imagine being able to grow so many peas! Well done! Your life looks idyllic to me! And your blog is so professional!!!
That is a lot of peas to shell. I have never heard of them either!The garden looks great really green and productive, we are not using pesticides either as we are trying to be as organic as possible.
Oh man! I am wiping my mouth on my sleeve! Yummy!
Everything looks so pretty and good. I live in N.Ga. and our garden has been sad with no water. Thankfully we did recieve some last week. We live close to Lake hartwell and its way way down.
Your greenbeans looked pretty sitting on the table waitting for winter.
