I post a lot about pigeon peas because they are the most prolific, low-maintenance legume I grow. They thrive in poor soil and drought, and don’t require trellising. This was my first time growing a rainbow variety that I got from Cody Cove Farms, which I also post about a lot because I’m so impressed with his experimentation cultivating #Florida heirlooms. Helpful also for TX, SoCal and other hot & arid places. #legumes #Zone10 #gardening @gardening

@PermaSolarPotter oooh, those are gorgeous. I love growing pigeon peas down here, so I’m going to have to add these to the next planting! How does their flavour compare?

@PermaSolarPotter interesting, does it bush up without a trellis or fall over like a tomato?

lovely! Acid or alkaline soil, do they have a preference? @PermaSolarPotter @gardening
