I picked my first handful of purple hull peas today. There is nothing prettier than the color of a purple hull pea pod. Sadly, unless I get a much bigger garden, this will be my last year of purple hull peas. Next year, I will plant my new favorite pea- lady cream peas. Now I love black eyed peas, but lady cream peas put them to shame. While the pea pod of the lady cream pea is pretty boring, the flavor of the pea is wonderful.
So it is so long to purple hull peas
A moment of silence please
(feel free to add to that silly poemlette)
Moment of silence...now eat those peas! They are my favorties, but I love, love lady creams too!!
