Description
Direct sow 1” deep when soil temps have reached 65°F, ideally by early June for dry beans. May also be eaten green at any stage. Plant at 2-4” in-row spacing and 12” between rows. Very heat and drought tolerant, also good as summer leguminous cover crop. For dry beans, pull entire plants and allow to after-ripen before processing. Collect seeds from beans that are fully dry. Shell by hand or by dancing on the dry pods, winnow or screen to clean. Test for dryness with a hammer – dry beans shatter, moist beans squish.
Seed Saving
Cowpeas are self-pollinating and do not need isolation for seed saving purposes.
