In this month's article we are going to look at a member of the legume family (the southern pea) that is from Africa.
Southern peas are also known as cowpea, field peas, blackeye or pinkeye.
They take the heat and poor fertile soils better, but they still need water to grow, something we have been limited with so far this growing season.
If planted in fertile soil or fertilized too much you will end of up with just vines instead of the plant setting pods.
